BA, QF & AA have the same own airline flights rule for status.
Having multiple ffp’s with low balances is never a good idea. You never get enough miles to be of use before they expires. FFP’s are for the long term.
In Australia you only earn QF points on JQ flights if you buy the add on bundle. JQ Vietnam seem the same. QF ffp is a poor ffp for non Au residents: BA & AA are better
Do you have a SkyTeam ffp? (KLM/AF)
AS has many OW partners including KLM/AF, CX, BA & QF.

Thank you for your reply!
With the bold line above you mean that to earn status on BA, I need to fly BA right?
I am Silver on KLM/AF and indeed I did not consider I could consolidate miles from OW and ST.
Should I then stick to 2 FFPs, one ST (KLM/AF) and one OW (BA), or should I look for something like AS (btw I saw that Qatar is not included in its partners, so I wouldn't know where to redeem the miles of my next flight)? If I decided to change to, let's say, AS, would I be able to transfer my miles balance from BA and KLM?
