Many other people, myself included, have noticed the same thing. No one seems to have any good reasons, other than "Well, thats why USAir is in Ch11 for the second time and UA only the first

You still get the 100% 1P/1K bonus, as well as the 25% COS bonus. You do get EQM's, but i'm not sure if the COS bonus applies to EQM's in this situation (I suspect so).
You do not get credit towards "United Lifetime Miles" aka MM. Nor does it count for the CR-1's or e500's.

That makes perfect sense, since you would just be buying two seperate one ways from each carrier.
