Agree completely, but why not still go to a WO airline and get in through the front door? The WO airlines (not just AA WO) have more to offer because the parent companies have deeper pockets, and that's not only today but tomorrow as well should the bar get raised. Furthermore, we are starting to see third party competitor airlines starting to flounder in terms of recruitment and operational performance while WO airlines have been able to adapt. This is a collapsing segment of the industry, wouldn't you find it wise to hitch your wagon to a horse that seems more stable should things go south?
