UA contracts out their UE flights to SkyWest, Air Wisconsin, Atlantic Coast Airlines and others very separate firms, so other than being somewhat part of the UA culture, jumping from a UE carrier to UA is like two different companies.. (and I don't think this has happened much in a few years.) AA fully owns Eagle at last check and their may be some sort of career path. Not sure about the TWA integration, didn't TWA outsource some of their work to ACA as well?
