No way. You can transfer to a *A partner (like AC).

You can theoretically transfer to SPG at 3:1 and then transfer to. UA @ 1.6:1 (in 20k increments), so every 60k MR should get you 12.5k UA. At nearly 5:1 ration you're better off selling your Amex at (the lousy price of) 1cpp and buying UA directly from UA.

If you want to book *A awards, why not transfer to AC or one of the other *A MR partners (as AJK suggested)?

That would vary by airline, check the YQ (fuel surcharges) thread (a sticky in "Up in the Air"), there should be a list there of where AC charges YQ.  Actual taxes should be the same/close everywhere FWIU.
