AAC (republic et al)
D3 ( buddy passes)

Each of the classes above is fully seated before the next gets anything. AAWO employees have d2 standard and an annual d1 allocation same as all mainline employees. It’s not an inconsequential difference.
the point about flexibility in an irrop is well taken. But, for me, the “value” in nonrev was long-haul premium family travel. To get 4 lay flat seats to paris or Buenos Aires… AA mainline benefits are the way to go
The 4th mainline carrier is who?
Flexibility is always the name of the game, and definitely more so when it comes to being a lower priority. Ironic that you used EZE as an example, I just got back from there and we (myself and my parents) had no real issues getting J on AA both directions (just don't tell anyone about the JFK flight lol).
I definitely have to sweat it out more that D2s do a lot of the time, but I've made it work!
