LMAO at these clowns thinking having WO benefits on only one airline is better than having slightly lower benefits (but higher jumpseat priorities) on 3-4 mainline carriers + zeds on everyone else.

Having mainline level benefits on AA isn't worth much when DFW/ORD is getting pounded by thunderstorms and AA is in total meltdown. Being able to instantly check loads on other carriers without having to call a buddy or get on staff traveler to be able to find a flight out of town and actually get on because you'll have priority over the WO schmuck who only has AA benefits can be quite invaluable.
