Help choosing OW FF programme

Dears,

I used to fly a lot from Europe to Asia with my previous job, thus I earned OW Emerald with CX.

Now I relocated to London on a EMEA role, and as you very well know acquiring status flying in euro traveller it's very hard.

Nevertheless I started building my status with BA, now got to Bronze but I realise the road to Silver is sooo long that I started questioning whether BAEC is the right programme for me. Need your help!

Answers to questions:

(1) What is most important to you in a FFP?
Fast track at security lines and lounge access

(2) How many miles do you usually fly each year & in what class? How many flights/sectors?
Hard to say now as my job is new and still have not understood what's expected. I would say 3/4 EU flights in economy a month and 2/3 intercontinental flights in business a year.

(3) What types of fares do you usually buy?
Economy short haul, Business long haul.

(4) Can you choose your airlines and/or class of service? Do you travel for work and/or pleasure?
70% work, 30% pleasure. I can choose both airlines, class dictated by policy (biz from 5 hours flights up).

(5) Which routes and airlines do you fly most often?
EU routes with BA

(6) What is your home airport?
LHR

(7) Do you have FFP status of any kind in OW or other airline? What is it? Do you have any miles banked in a FFP?
CX Diamond, almost dry of miles now having spent them all on personal trips lol

(8) Preferred Airlines? Most common Airlines flown on?
BA
