Yes. As a partner elite when I continue flying UA, US, AC, etc. I get all of the "generic" elite benefits. Priority access, a decent boarding group, at least one checked bag, plus lounge access at Gold.

Of course the "native" elites get the upgrades. I'll never see those, but if I was flying enough to be a high elite I wouldn't choose the Aegean route to begin with.
