(7) Do you have FFP status of any kind in OW or other airline? What is it? Do you have any miles banked in a FFP?
Reply: None anymore, used to have QFF Platinum (close to lifetime silver), but no longer live in Aus, so couldn't hit the 4 QF Segments.
(8) Preferred Airlines? Most common Airlines flown on?
Reply: I prefer widebody if possible, 787/777, Lie Flat seats when avail, AA A321T was pretty good too.

Let me know your thoughts. Thanks!
In USA for ever? Or back to AU to live in few years?
Your QF points will expire if you do not have eligible activity in 18 months. So do something to keep them alive say once a year.
QF --> Disaster - Just lost over500k points Has links to other threads on how to keep QF points alive.

QF status has soft landings IIRC. So QF Plat (OWE) to QF gold (OWS). OWS Oneworld sapphire gives you lounge access. As does paid QF club membership for AA.
Unsure if you need the 4 qualifying flights for the soft landings. Have a look in the QF forum and/or AFF.
QF lifetime silver (OW Ruby) does not give you much. But QF lifetime gold (OW Sapphire) does give lifetime lounge access (your life or the life of the current QF ffp rules)
