I sent my request across for a status match today as I believe it is valid for 2 years and wanted to do so before the big rush of Aegean people trying to status match in case they say no. This will give me an extra year of *G as a minimum if Turkish honour a 2 year status match.
I also have some flights on the horizon with TK but I will have a look at the earning rates as Aegean may be easier to accrue the miles with (despite needing more of them if flying non-A3 carriers).
