Sounds like you are normally booked in deep discount economy fares. The TPs and avios received reflect this.
You either need 300 TPs and 2 eligible flights OR 25 eligible flights for Bronze, not 60 flights.
600 TPs and 4 eligible flights OR 50 eligible flights for Silver.

If your ticket is booked through a corporate travel agent then they may be selecting your seat. You may be able to provide your agent with your seat preference.

BA/BAEC has reduced benefits and earnings especially for deep discount economy fare passengers to better reflect the revenue they provide. I don't see BA adding additional benefits or making it easier to reach various status levels in the near future.
