10 (+3 more additional) OW carriers when flying abroad. AS would be a perfect fit to fill in the North American West Coast gap for OW.
Of course if AS were to join OW, MVP = AA GLD = OW Ruby, MVP Gold = AA PLT = OW Sapphire, and MVP Gold 75k = AA EXP = OW Emerald, so it kinda dilutes trying to requalify for AA elite status for reciprocal OW benefits as elite status on ASMP has a lower threshold than AAdv
