Having three options is the bees knees. You almost have infinant options to get from point a to b. I can see why it be nice for the WOs but to say their non revs blows Republics away is foolish at best. Going to Vegas a few weeks ago I literally had 100 different options through the day through the three airlines and connecting through different cities.
I choose the best most easiest option that had a high chances of sitting first class. It worked out great.

Sure you had some great luck with loads out of Vegas for a particular day. But I’ll rather take mainline priority of the WOs based on time of check in over having multiple options at a lower priority on each carrier.
When loads get tight, and they do. Then odds are improved having mainline priority with the earliest check in time with a jumpseat as my backup option. Usually when loads are tight out of a city, it’s going to be tight for multiple carriers not just a single carrier because there is a reason why those loads are tight.
Multiple times I’ve seen AACs have to scramble to their next options when loads got tight and sure enough I knew I was getting on…. Sorry, you aren’t going to beat that.
It’s not like we (I include everyone) can’t hop on UPS and FED Ex either (which I’ve done before when weather rolls in and cancels the next day morning flights and I need to be somewhere).
Then again, I no longer have skin in the game as my commute is positive space with hotels provided in base.
