How do you define success? They are literally offering double miles on California transcons for the bulk of the year to anyone who registers. That's not a promotion of a successful route, that's desperation before they take other potentially more severe action.
As for international partners, there's minimal benefit for the AS customer base (on the West Coast) at EWR. Someone is not going to want to fly SFO-EWR-LHR or SEA-EWR-LHR when they can just fly nonstop SFO-LHR or SEA-LHR.
