While possible, unlikely you will earn status a faster with another ffp. Calculating the status earning for a ffp can be a lot harder.
What benefits from status will you get?
Alaska AS ffp is another option flying CX, but AS partners are reducing. AA will not be a ff partner from 01 Jan 2018.
Thank you for the comment.
My next flight will probably be class N.
I mainly care about priority check In & boarding.
It seems like Alaska is an appealing option, as they also partner with Hainan Airlines - another company i might take from time to time.
Just to make sure - do you know if I must fly some Alaska segments (just as BA demands)?
