Did a roundtrip last weekend, first flight on AA second flight on US.
As an AA Gold:
- Priority Security line at RDU
- Priority boarding (Priority Access, after First, EXP and Platinum)
- Exit row free at booking
As a UA Silver flying US:
- No Priority Security line at DCA, also saw a US Silver turned away
- No Priority boarding as Star Silver (Zone 4, US Silver would have been Zone 2 I believe)
- Only paid seats left when I booked the flight. I believe US Silvers don't have access to these either.
I'm putting AA Gold and DL Silver at Tier 1, UA and US Silver at Tier 2.
