Also a shame that US Airways is leaving Star Alliance and joining oneworld. Can no longer convert aeroplan to US Airways, which at least have options with no surcharges...
Where did you get the 20k figure? Is that in Y?

Consider also EI, as the charges are much lower, but you need to telephone to check availability.

I'm afraid that US has been in oneworld for a while now! They do have some redemption options with their old Star Alliance partners though, but probably not Aeroplan.
