(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?

I have banked about 400K in AA, 170K in AF, and 40K in LH

With the majority of ffp's benefits are reducing and ff mile award/upgrade costs are going up. Upgrades are now harder to get. The halcyon days of frequent flyer programs a decade ago are gone: just accept reality.
As you are in ffp's of all 3 alliances, concentrating on one may get a better result
However taking the flight that best suits your budget & schedule and treating any ff miles as bonus that may or may not be able to used is now a solid alternative to staying with a single alliance.
