Not always true that the codeshare costs less. In some cases, US codeshares on UA metal are less than the same UA flights. Mix of LH codes on UA metal one direction and UA own code on return often price out cheaper than all-UA on the same flights on TATL, due to oddities with how LH and UA do the surcharges differently.
So in this example what would a US Airways R class ticket booked onto a UA operated sector actually book into for UA earning purposes (UA has no R class)
Cheers
