But yeah, I can see how those benefits would suck if you work for a non-AA wholly owned like Skywest. You guys have boarding priority lower than any AA employee...including gate agents and janitors. That is a long standby list to climb up if the loads are full. Envoy/PSA/Piedmont have equal boarding priority along with AA pilots so it's easier for us.

Speaking as an Envoy pilot, those "worthless" AA travel benefits have taken me and my family all over the world. Every continent except Africa...my parents travel multiple times a month all over the place. Never have any of us ever not made it to where we were going. 90% of the time I'm in First/Business class.
