I do use Cathay sometimes, so that's kind of my default option, but I'm not sure AsiaMiles is that great of a program. The other one I use is Emirates but I assume I can't credit there.
Where do you credit Cathay flights to now?
AA ffp is another option, Does not have the own airline flight rule for status.
BA has a 2/4 flight on BA / IB for status. Is not revenue based.
AS is not (yet) a revenue based ffp. AA is an AS partner on international flights, but not USA domestic flights. EK is an AS ff partner.

Oneworld:- Deciding on a Oneworld Frequent Flyer Program? Help is here

Having multiple ffp’s with low balances is never a good idea. You may never get enough ff miles/points to be of use before they expire. Adding frequent miles in a ff program that you can use, are worth more than ff miles in an orphan ffp that you will never use, even if the earning rate is nominally better.

So be mindful of expiry Miles/Points that Do and Don't Expire. Click to open the wiki.
