Interesting, the AE flights are on Saabs and UAX is CRJ, plus the flight is only 30 minutes at best. But the UAX has flights to DEN on a CRJ700 with FC, .
But if he takes the LAX-IAD-CDG he can get 2 777 with international config which makes for a nice ride, plus UA has E+ something AA does not offer.

the upgrades are fairly easy to come by on AA, esp. once you reach top tier (EXP) and get 8 SWU's annually.
