I've never heard of one airline calling another to check on these things.
Airlines *say* they will only match status once. Do you intend to fly UA? Do their routes and schedules meet your needs? Why request a status match if you have no intention of using it? I suggest you check out the UA forum and educate yourself about Mileage Plus before deciding whether to request a match.
