AA does offer Alaska elites some perks such as early boarding and seat selection. Don't know if Delta extends any perks.

AS management has publicly stated Mileage Plan is a core aspect of its program and there is no plans to move to revenue based earnings

And one can get upgraded on DL as an AS elite. Odds are quite low depending on route, but it can happen.
