I guess the main thing we want out of a program is lounge access if possible
As far as I know status with US ffp's does not give lounge access. QF Gold & Plat status does including some AA lounges. But AA is a far better ffp compared to QF. Buy AA or QF club lounge access if needed. If you are flying business class is a moot point:- you have lounge access in intl flight (at least with QF):

Worth finding out what airline you work uses. They may have a corporate discount including for USA-Aust. Qantas, United, Delta, Virgin Aust & Hawaiian fly USA to Aust. And Air NZ via AKL. As above buy your r/t ticket in the USA [LAX-MEL-LAX]

There is a similar thread on star forum.
