Which FF program for me?

Hi there,
I have to fly LHR-BOS-LHR and the schedules and prices make it look as if BA is the only option for me. I normally fly UA or *Alliance but here the schedule is paramount. Please help, I can't stand the thought of wasting nearly 8000 FF miles. I have to credit them somewhere!

Now, this BA flight will be a super-cheap economy ticket. So here's my problem:
If I join the BA Exec Club then as a UK resident I can only earn miles on the higher price tickets.

AA. I can't earn AA miles on BA transaatlantics can I?

Which of the OneWorld partners will let me join with my UK address and collect the points from this cheap economy BA tranatlantic ticket? In the future, I will fly OneWorld airlines occasionally, but only on short(er) intra-Europe trips, probably only one or two a year.

Thanks,
Jason

Qantas. I had a similar problem recently and the advice was fairly resoundingly Qantas (I think the thread's in the One World forum if you fancy digging it out for the details!).

I think this is the thread of which you speak.
