Given the improved connections and my preference for TK I will start flying them in any event, but here are my questions:
1. Would TK do a status match and if so would there be any benefit for me (e.g. better mileage accrual rate)?
2. What would be the best strategy for me as I have UA1k for 2020... should I just start flying TK now and accrue to TK or is there benefit to accrue to UA MilesPlus in 2020 and then switch to accrue to TK thereafter?
3. Any other observations, hints or advice that you would offer?
... Many thanks in advance!!!
I know that you may be new to FT, but your question has very little to do with the status match opportunity - especially since AFAIK TK don't match other *A statuses - and a lot to do with choosing between two different *A programmes, which belongs elsewhere.

Need advice on which *A FF scheme to join? - please post here
