Wow, that's awesome. Let's hope that A3 is not going to impose a minimum flight requirement for the status like AC did. It would not be very easy to take an A3 flight if you live in Canada.

Just booked myself one, as it happened.

And I need to book a second one very soon.

Not that I want to join their FF program.

:D

Careful with Aegean though. They were trying to merge with Olympic, although the merger was disallowed by the EU:

Still, it looks like they may try other things, which might get them out of star in the future?

There is a discussion on another FT forum (I can't remember which one, but if I find it I will link it here) about Aegean and qualifying for Star Gold. As far as I recall (and I haven't verified this on the Aegean site), UA first fares get 300% of the mileage so a fairly small number of first miles will get one that status. I'm poking around for a decent first fare that will net status. There are some in the $1000-1200 range, so it can be done for cheap-ish.
