3 cents per mile... good luck with that lol.
Why not come back to this at the end of the year once you've done the majority of your traveling? Then you have a better idea of how many miles you need to re-qualify for EXP.

If you have 6 days and find $575 fares to CGK, you can accomplish what you want for $1150 with 2 trips to CGK. This is the best fare that you will find.

yes but the problem is that those pesky eqds stop me from getting any status. Should I just fly one biz to asia to get my eqds for Exec Plat and earn the rest of the eqds needed?

How much do you travel? From what it looks like, you already have three One World Emerald statuses. Do you really need AA? Sure, you can buy a J or F class ticket to Asia, but will it be worth it? You're looking at spending, at a minimum, $6K for the PQD, flying on partner airlines in business.

I travel a lot most of it is for work and my company pays for it. But this year I'm not travelling for my company as much instead of about 300k mile im going to fly 100k and thats on BA and Iberia, so not much help for worldwide flights so AA would be better to have for my personal travels. I have about 2 Million Award Miles in all of the airlines combined so I usually get my status first and than book Economy Award Tickets and than get upgraded to business. That way i'm maximizing miles.

I don't get it, you are asking for 40K EQM for less than $1,200 but when someone tell you about JFK-CGK for $575 for 20K (1,150 total) you said you will be short with EQD, then you said you can get the rest of EQD with your Aviator Silver...

yes what i mean is some times I will buy my upgrade or get upgraded automatically. Or on domestic flights I will be at the top of the upgrade list or I can use 500-mile upgrades or system wide upgrades
