re travel, my experience has been successfully riding on 142 legs in a row as an AA WO non rev without issue getting on. No way I would have been able to do that or even get close with the lower priority as a “partner” airline, also the vast majority of these flights including many international legs that were completely free!

there is no comparison, AA WO is way in front as a new hire as unlike UA and Delta you have the same non rev rights as a 30 year captain immediately on start of employment. it purely goes on check in time to decide priority in class and our class is 1 or 2. As a partner employee you sit around class 5 or 6, hence the higher degree of difficulty in riding. (Not talking about the jump, just for non rev for employee and family)

True. I forgot American does it like that. So you get the same priority as mainline then if you check in first you're on the top of the list? That's pretty awesome.
