I'm also in the group of > 3K but < 5k last year with 2945 TP earned on BA. My year just ended on 8 December (so I'm at 0 TP for now

).
My current travel plans for 2015 would have me at 1.5K by the end of March including three weeks in New York.
So I'm thinking of spending weekends doing LGA - LGB circuits.
I'm not sure that's what BA would have wanted...
