Nope. Paid flights on ba earn an award flights don’t, that’s about all there is to it. You can part pay a paid ticket with avios - but at the paid ticket conditions - but award tickets remain just that regardless of what part of the payment hit it is in cash. Status also makes no difference whatsoever to eligible/ineligible flights.
