Hello all. Long time lurker, first post.

I am only a few flights away from being FO for the first time. I will actually hit the status while in the middle of a trip. I have read here many times before that the system should recognize me as FO Friday night or Saturday am, which is great for me because I will hit 25,000 MQM after my EWR-MSP-HNL flight on Thursday morning. So, I'm thinking there is always the chance for an upgrade on the way back on Monday (fingers crossed!) and definitely the checked baggage fee going away would be great.

However, I am on DL numbered flights operated by NWA. My question is, are the systems integrated enough to where the MQMs will hit and status will be recognized even though my flights are not DL operated? Any feedback would be appreciated.
