Fair enough that's your option. I prefer riding on company, and 5 minutes of straightening a few seat belts is worth it for me. I've commuted my entire career, and riding on company is hands-down the easiest. No worries about boarding last and some AA gate agent sending my bag to baggage claim. Etc. etc. etc.
If that hassle is worth it for you, do it.
