I want to know which company is the best to achieve Silver status quickly at Oneworld? I have the impression that Qatar is more interesting than BA for example (no intermediate bronze status ..
On the other hand it may be a bigger level with Qatar?)
For info I have not particularly planned to travel with Qatar but especially with IB and BA
Thank you very much
The OW alliance does not have silver status. OW status are Emerald, Sapphire & Ruby,

QF silver is OW ruby. Different airlines/ffp's have different names for the equivalent OW status.
What do you expect from status?
OW ruby does not have that many benefits
Some OW ffp's, like QF, BA and AS (joins 31 Match 2021) required X flights on own aircraft for status. The detailed rules for this vary.
Other ffp's are revenue based, so status is by spend and/or other requirements. The detailed rules for this vary.
Generally you are better getting status/miles of the airline you fly most or of your home country. Many people get miles from non - flying activity (credit cards).
Have asked this thread to be moved from the QF subforum to the OW subforum
