From AA miles perhaps yes. But as a MPC Diamond I have no major difficulty getting J or F awards on CX HKG-Europe given a little flexibility. But no status bonus, and 140,000 for an F round trip means 8:1 reward ratio, and you have to do 120,000 miles or 80 sectors a year on OneWorld to maintain the status.
