As someone who has had both, sorry, but I like Republic’s benefits better. There’s nothing like the ability to take the Skytrain across DFW when AA is falling apart in an IROP or even just a normal day with all the revenue standys, D1T’s etc and hop on a wide-open United flight to the same exact place. The flexibility gained is absolutely worth the lower priority to me.
To each their own. One man’s trash is another man’s Miata.
