The OP was indicating one to two return trips to Australia per year so that is enough for the 4 segment requirement. However things might change in the future and then this might be hard to maintain when you are based in the US.

To the OP: The main question is what you want to get out of the FF program. QF only makes sense (IMHO) when you actually fly QF a lot. Otherwise AA might be better for you. If your flying is not enough to get you status for lounge access, consider buying a Qantas Club membership which gets you into QF, AA and BA lounges.
