You can try BA but they will only offer you silver. They can only comp you if you are a totally *new* member to them. if you were enrolled with them before (even if no activity) they will not comp you.</font>
That's not true. BA does comp silver even old accounts, but it requires some effort and luck from your side.
Anyway, I think QF program is better for you (seems like Qantas will be your preffered airline), if you can cope some time without status.
