AA flies nonstop from JFK to CDG, and I think that the Chilean businessman can earn miles on that flight.
iirc, AA was none too happy about a potential OW competitor on the JFK - PAR route, and AA may be a nay vote when/if OpenSkies comes up for OW membership.
[btw, OpenSkies flies from JFK to ORY, not CDG.]
