Upgrades on QF using AA miles?

Is there any method to get an upgrade on a QF LAX-SYD flight using AA miles? AA says that even if you use their codeshare flight #'s, you still can't upgrade because AA has no allocation of biz class upgrade seats. QF says you have to be a member of their program. I've gotten an op upg before due to a maintenance problem on one of the three flights from LAX-SYD, but that was luck that can't be reproduced easily.

I live in STL, making AA a reasonable choice as a usual airline; back when I lived in SJC I used UA instead. It's making me want to take on the hassle of UA for my Int'l flights.

Forever missing the service of TW...

You can't use AA miles to upgrade on Qantas.

You can't use AA miles to upgrade on anyone other than AA.
