You do not fly enough to get status, unless your future trips are business class. High status get you lounge access. However AA status does not get you lounge access for USA domestic flights.

Be careful about expiry of the QF (18 months) & VA points(36 months?). Use them or earn some more. Not that hard to do.
Thanks for the advice Mwenenzi! I'm likely to move back to the Asia region or Australia in the next year or 2 though. What would be the best Oneworld FFP for that region? Also, if I'm probably not going to get enough status for lounge access I guess my next priority would be good award redemption rates.
