Err... The worst rule that I know of...
Transatlantic flights on BA will earn exactly 0 AAdvantage Miles.
Transatlantic flights on AA will earn exactly 0 Executive Club Miles.
I would probably suggest Continental OnePass given the wide range of SkyTeam partners they have as that they have Virgin Atlantic as a partner.
Alternatively, now is a great time to signup for Virgin Flying Club.

Here is an offer that ends TODAY!!
You can enjoy your shiny elite status on your flight to the Caribbean, don't worry about being bumped etc.
AA will often let you book BA flights on AA numbers - They do earn AA miles.
