It's understandable why Golds won't get the elite security line benefit. AS does not even give that to its Gold-equivilent MVP members.
Also, informally, AA elites have been able to use AS elite security lines by showing their elite card. So far Golds, it's possible there might be loss in benefits in this area.
Now what are the policies for standby?

This benefit will definitely be helpful for SJC-MMH.
