I'm in the same boat myself. I got tired of the AC/AE games and moved to another alliance. As it turns out last year was the heaviest travel year I've ever done, over 200,000 BIS miles all in paid J and F (real F, not a US carriers idea of F) and this year is looking similar.
I would say AC's not seen a dime from me, but I did have to do 4 positioning segments on AC to connect to BA. I doubt AC is getting rich on my few YYC-YVR segments, even if they were in J. On 125 ticket stock, so I have no idea what the revenue split is. I took great pleasure in boarding the AC flight in YVR with a boarding pass issued by BA at LHR on BA boarding pass paper. I was impressed they could do it actually, but it was no problem.
