I personally like TOC better because it gives you a better idea ahead of time where you stand on the priority list
AAs jumpseat is TOC (AA first, then WO) up to (I think 10) days prior regardless of commuting status
I used to commute on AA. People would "check-in" from RDU for a flight from ORD-PHL. Neither system is perfect, but I prefer ours. Especially when I'm old and don't want to game the system just to have a chance.
Further, EDV aren't even equals on mainline, that would be an improvement. They go
ahead of mainline retirees and parents.
