The flexibility gained is absolutely worth the lower priority to me.

To each their own. One man’s trash is another man’s Miata.
the only place you’re going on United out of dfw is to a United hub.

And what exactly prevents the WO guy from doing the same?

Having to come up with reasons to affirm your choice to yourself this early on in your career is generally not a good thing.

None. Apply to every major/ulcc to escape the whipsaw.

I’m not reaffirming anything to myself. As someone who approached this objectively from the time recruiters walked through the door (RPA/AA WO alike), I’d say I offer a slightly different POV. Strictly outside looking in, I thought it through plenty of times. Did plenty of hw on this and thus I got my opinion.

Heck, the person who experienced both travel benefits sided with RPA bennies. With that

With that, I digress.

Personal situations vary and if you don't live in a place that's well serviced by AA/UAL/DAL the respective benefits might hold less worth to you.
That being said, like it has been pointed out a number of times in this thread, WO travel bennies do not differ from the mainline in any way, shape or form.

Think RPA's options are better? That's fine, your choice.
