*G would be a benefit that would put AMEX way ahead of the game. It would be a net loss for me, since that means losing out on AA lounge access when flying AA domestically, and I already have *G status.
But for 99% of people, this would be a benefit. Very few people fly AA or CX or OW in Canada. Unless Westjet is going to join OW, which I don't see happening anytime soon.
