(7) Do you have FFP status of any kind in an airline? What is it? Do you have any miles banked in a FFP?
Belong to AA and Delta FFP. Have miles banked with both.

(8) Preferred Airlines
1- Delta 2- AA
Now days the chances of in frequent flyers getting upgrades are low to very low, especially on low priced tickets. You need mid - high status for lounge access, but (with AA) this is only for international and not domestic travel. Discounted lounge access does really happen.

Alaska has both AA & DL as freq flyers partners.https://www.alaskaair.com/content/mi...ePlan-partners
You can fly AA & DL and get AS miles. Have a read of the AS forum. The AS award chart is limited.

As many ffp's are going to a revenue based system your earnings will not be much on low priced fares.
