You'd better think twice before making sweeping statements like that. It depends on where in Asia you are flying to and what class of service.
For Example:
BA - SFO- CMB (Colombo) is 80,000 BA miles in J
AA - SFO - CMB 55,000 AA miles in J and 67,500 AA miles in F.
In other words - you can fly CX F from SFO to CMB for significantly fewer AA miles in F than for BA miles in J (and probably less taxes as well).
