Also what gives me best chance to get One World Emerals status with an approx 41K itinerary traveling on J.
No, each FFP has its own earnings rates and its own redemption rates (and fees and rules). And each program has its own rules for awarding elite status.
Depending on how many segments there will be on your RTW journey, how many of them will be marketed
or operated by BA, how many will be marketed
and operated by IB, and how long each of the segments will be, you might be able to attain BA Gold (oneworld Emerald) status. But then, of course, you would be earning BA Avios, and not some other frequent-flyer currency.
You need 1,500 BAEC Tier Points in a qualifying year to earn BAEC Gold. You must also have flown a total of at least four flights operated or marketed by BA and/or marketed and operated by IB.
Each Business Class flight of 2,000 miles or more on oneworld carriers credited to BAEC earns at least 140 TP.
