On the other hand it would make far more sense to fly transatlantic on AA if you are flying discounted economy - MRTC gives AA the clear advantage for economy customers. In that case BA membership would be useless to you (no miles accumulation on AA flights) and you might consider AAdvantage as your best OneWorld option. You will also have the advantage of direct flights to both UK and Germany. Status accumulation is still a problem though.
