Status on CO does not transfer over to UA, except that starting in mid 2010 you will be eligible for EUA's (complementary upgrades) on UA domestic flights. However, you will be below all other CO and UA elites. We haven't heard many of the increased benefits of the "close" UA/CO relationship, so there may be more benefits announced in the next few months. That's just speculation though.
