No way to convert BA miles to AA, but you can redeem BA miles for an award flight on AA (or other partners). I believe 25,000 miles is required for an economy class round trip within North America. Click the "table" link in the first paragraph of this page...

How to get from 8,000 to 25,000 without flying on BA? The BA Visa card issued by Chase will generate a 15,000 mile introductory bonus plus 1 mile per dollar spent. Which means you could apply for the card, spend about $2,000, and then you will have 25,000 BA miles.

You can also transfer points to BA from several hotel programs, Diners Club or Merill Lynch's Merrill+ card.
