ALL in paid Business class. He will still be going to all the same places, but now starting out in Columbus. He asked AA about a status match, but was told no, because they don't do status matches within Oneworld. Evidently, Skyteam and Staralliance are not under consideration. OBTW-ChatGBT suggested he go with AA.

Any thoughts, ideas, or workarounds. Thank you in advance.
The only reason I would stay with BA is if he's close to GFL or GGLFL. Otherwise the benefits don't matter much, but generally will get better treatment on AA as an AA elite. Only difference being not having lounge access on domestic itineraries as AA vs BA.
