As far as Star Alliance, you would be good to check out BMI, CO and UA programs.

I am a bit confused...what does living in England have to do with the ability to redeem AA miles on BA flights that don't go to the USA? Anyone can redeem AA miles on BA flights that don't go to the USA.

The way this is written can be easily misunderstood.
Now this statement would have a lot of conditions wouldn't it? Don't you need to PAY to do the Plat challenge? Don't you need to buy a expensive fare class Y tickets to get enough points to meet that plat challenge with just one RT TATL? In subsequent years, doesn't one have to earn the plat the 'old fashion way' or pay to do the challenge again once has lost the plat status?
