I choose the best most easiest option that had a high chances of sitting first class. It worked out great.

Boom! Rest my case. Thanks for chiming in, LoneStar32

Asking which has the best travel privelages is like asking which hooker has the best herpes.

You act as if WO folks don’t have tons of options either when they really do….

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.

That's cute and all, but imagine a world where you don't need 100 options to make something happen.

The biggest use for me and my family was premium international. 4 people, lay flat seats across an ocean multiple times. I don’t see that happening easily without mainline status

Then you want PSA or Envoy.
