I wasn't trying to correct you just highlighting that there is actually more availablility in F on QF to Aus than BA. Which is another factor to consider for the OP.

If you haven't flown QF F you can live vicariously through me in the link to my TR below.

Two other things to note:
it is harder to reach elite status on AA;
you will earn status bonus double miles on ALL OW carriers not just a few like BA.
