I know AA EXP get UDU's but those aren't extended to Emerald OW partners right? Essentially OW EM would be behind EXP and PLT in terms of Op Up process then?

I'm a little torn between flying AA to get those sectors for CX vs. the UDU's I've gotten on UA. Any thoughts? Thanks

CX DM don't get any special op-up privileges on AA. Besides with AA elites able to upgrade on their paid tickets, I doubt you'd be op-up'd anyway.

Stay with UA as your status will be recognised there..
