2021 nailed it. I can't say exactly where you'd be on a RAH, SKW, or Mesa flight as a WO pilot, but in the back of the airplane on mainline or the WOs your odds are way better than those other guys. I really can speak the details of the RAH JS kerfuffle as of late, but I rarely find myself on a RAH flight out of CLT if I'm going somewhere.

Even with the best travel benefits (which the AA WO have), it is very difficult to non-rev right now. Commuting is terrible. But trying to commute off-line is unbearable. I have seen pilots list for 5-6 fights between hubs and still not get a seat. They spend all day trying to commute and still not get on.
Pretty much this. A WO pilot essentially has a LOT more on-line opportunities than a non-WO pilot with regard to commuting, all other things being equal.
