You have to look at it from a different perspective.
You can use a zed and list as pilot commuting
You can use a zed and pay for a non rev listing
You can list for UA and get priority over DL/AA/SWA/UPS and others but you will be behind UA and GoJet, AirWisconsin and CommuteAir
If you are in a domicile that allows for DL and/or AA and/or AS you can list for those just as above for UA.
You can have your spouse, kids, parents and a friend added as well to some of those above, but it depends on your domicile.
Those dependents can also use some zed listings as well.
