Default Best travel privileges: 9E, RPA, or AA WO's?

While I realize this has been debated ad nauseam in the past, things are always changing. At present, what regional airline offers the best & easiest non-rev travel options for pilots and their families: AA WO'S, Endeavor, or Republic?

Do consider which company will allow you a schedule to use them….

Hard to argue with the AA WOs on this one. 9E is better than it was five years ago, but we're still always behind every Delta employee. When you're junior, that even applies on your own metal.

1) 100% true
2) why? You get the exact same travel privileges as any American mainline employee. Priority for boarding is by time of check in, not seniority. So you can be a day one PSA first officer ahead of a triple 7 captain for first class

Because the more senior you are the better schedule you have so more time to use benefits. I was responding to another question here. AA WO pilots get priority over the jumpseat on any other WO carrier above Main line pilots which helps commuters a lot.

Nothing has changed over the past few years that I am aware of. Therefore, all the old dick measuring threads are still valid.
