at first glance, it seems like Royal Jordanian's Royal Plus is the only one I could hope to maintain (55k to achieve, 50 to maintain).
does OneWorld have any programs that allow you to maintain a status for more than 1 year before needing to qualify again?
No. RJ you need to fly 55k plus 42 segments with 12 segments on RJ.
I would say AA is the best program for you. Or look at a Middle Eastern carrier instead. Its not easy to get OW Emerald with only economy flying.
