No. On United, I have to put in effort to get E+. On AC, there's a pretty good chance I can get an upgrade on a Flex fare.

So if the price is the same, I'm booking AC. And I think that would be true for most AC FF's. What's the point in flying an airline you don't have status with if the price is the same?
