As far as travel benefits go, you have priority on American before any other regional is that correct? That is pretty awesome. Basically, Delta and United group all "their" regionals as one priority level. Envoy doesn't feed for United or Delta though so their priority would go below say Skywest or even Mesa or Go Jet. I believe since Skywest does feed for American, they would have higher priority on American over someone who doesn't feed for American like say Endeavor. Does this sound right? Are there any other improvemenst over other regionals? Most half way descent regionals give you benefits on airlines across the globe. I'm just trying to understand why Envoy has such great travel benefits outside American mainline. Thanks.

Regarding insurance, which regionals are you comparing this to?

AA/WO (envoy,psa,pdt) all have the same AAG travel benefits and boarding priority, also other deals and discounts, such hotels, rental cars phone etc...when you retire you also get the same non-rev retirement travel package has AA..

That's correct. The first priority is AA/ENY/PDT/PSA and these carriers employees' spouses and children, next step down in priority are these employees' parents, next are other AA feeders such as Skywest, Mesa, etc..., next step down are AA/ENY/PDT/PSA buddy passes, after that any other non AA regional would be classified as a ZED which is the lowest priority. So any Envoy pilots mother would have higher priority than a Skywest pilot on any AA branded aircraft unless it was a flight operated by Skywest. In that case a Skywest pilot has the top priority on their metal above anyone else.

That makes sense thanks. That's pretty sweet benefits for riding on American. For every other airline it sounds about the same as everywhere else.
