CX DM flying on AA or 1P on UA?
 
Hey guys,

Would I get the most benefit flying domestic in the US on UA as a 1P since I get the UDU and Econ Plus bookings free? Or as a CX DM flying on AA (I'm not even sure if there are many benefits at all other than check in, lounge and boarding? I know AA EXP get UDU's but those aren't extended to Emerald OW partners right? Essentially OW EM would be behind EXP and PLT in terms of Op Up process then?

I'm a little torn between flying AA to get those sectors for CX vs. the UDU's I've gotten on UA. Any thoughts? Thanks

I'd take the UA deal to get E+ seating if the UG doesn't happen.

CX DM don't get any special op-up privileges on AA. Besides with AA elites able to upgrade on their paid tickets, I doubt you'd be op-up'd anyway.

Stay with UA as your status will be recognised there..

One thing to consider is that while you get UDU as a 1P, you would get access to any first class lounge as a CX DM, which the 1P status does not have access to.
