If your TPAC travel is on CX in business, those flights will credit equally well to AA or BA. Remember 33.3K EQP credited to AA will get you PLT status and the 100% status bonus. With the joint venture with AA/BA, award seating TATL should be equally available to both and at the present AA awards will "cost" less. You would need more than 70K miles in Biz (90K economy) to get CX Gold. You will need to research the CX award cost tradeoffs there.

Happy wandering
