EVA, SQ, ANA, and even CX all offer service that AC has pretty much no hope of ever meeting. And when you factor in that YVR is not even an important location for these carriers, it just feels like a waste of time for AC to try and steal these passengers away. They don't even have the network to service these passengers after. And how many premium passengers flying these airlines really need connections outside of YVR in Canada? like 2?
I think AC is happy where they are and won't make any changes outside of what they already offer. If you're SE with AC now, you probably have no other options, especially if you aren't in a hub.
That's my point. If you're buying J from YVR, you have a ton of options to Asia, and at least AC/LH/BA to Europe.
Sure, if you're depending on upgrades, then sticking with one airline that can get you everywhere might make more sense. But if you're spending $50k+ and not sitting in J all the time, you should have a chat with your TA
