I've never heard a good thing about NW, but, I trust the advice here about this sort of thing more than anywhere else, so I'm certainly willing to try it if recommended. If CO is just NW metal then I might as well just go NW ticket stock too. The only advantage of ATL to me is that I have my UA RCC membership which has a club there.

I'm not 1P yet on UA, so if I ask NW to comp me status it's only going to be their 2P equivelant which looks like silver. Does this still put me on the list for upgrades? I'm not used to getting that given I take UA everywhere right now so it's not like I'm going to make a decision based on that.

The little fine print and this thread says DL and most CO ticket classes don't count as EQM/EQS on NW. Is this the case reciprocally?
