Should I status match my United Gold to American and have both or keep using United for better status?

Status match is once every several years, not lifetime.

Imo it’s not worth it unless you actually want to switch. Just fly UA and get to 1K/Platinum

D offers a fast track for Gold on United which is why I’ve been flying United. My current project, which will likely last 4+ months can be flown to via United and American. I sometimes fly American bc their times can be more suitable. Is it feasible to keep up status on 2 airlines? I know I wouldn’t have issues doing so on my current project, but down the line idk if I’d be able to fly United/American interchangeably like I can now. I know status matching is once in a life time so idk if it would be a waste to match to American now. I don’t really need higher status than Gold on United, but I could keep trying to be exclusive to get platinum/1K. Anyone with more experience/insight have an opinion?

I mean how would American know that? Could be very possible and negate everything tho

For anyone who receives a quarterly bonus or raise in some form, does your employer start to schedule you for less hours when your raise kicks in, or pull you from a future schedule entirely once you receive a bonus; only to put you back on once the hours you would have worked and earned the amount given are passed? Ie; a part time employee getting $200.00 in a quarterly bonus and then not being scheduled a whole week during a bi-weekly pay period where they would have earned more on the clock…?
