Honestly I feel our priority travel bennies suck relative to others but prefer our system of being able to list on typically three different major airlines. The problem is the 175.
Where you are traveling to/from or even international vs domestic should formulate which airline is your favorite nonrev carrier. Delta is most likely to have seats available and also most likely to have a comically long standby list.

Delta travel benefits suck. Check in for non Rev flights go in order of your seniority ,date of hire.Retirees and mainline delta people,even fa's will have priority over you.If you try to nonrev on delta from Atl,Slc,Lax,or NYC or maybe Dtw,good luck with that.
Anyone with a higher seniority than you can bump you off of the flight at the last minute, regardless of your time of check in.

Yeah heaven forbid the Mainline partner gives their employees priority over the contracted partner on the Mainline metal....kind of like how you get priority on your metal over Mainline.

You're letting your millennial entitlement lead you to believe that a 30-year DAL FA or ramper should not be able to bump you on THEIR metal. Other than the JS, pilots are not extra-special human beings compared to other employees.
On the flip side, you can bump a 30-year DAL CA out of any seat on a SKW airplane.
With all that said, airline travel bennies suck a$$ compared to ten+ years ago. I still use them because I can JS, but the rest of my family just buys tickets now.

Heard a funniest thing yesterday from a Skywest jumpseater. He said Skywest was gonna purchase Republic after they come out of bankruptcy! Now he seemed pretty serious about it, and he also seemed pretty new by the looks of his uniform and all the brand new crew bags. So I asked who's gonna purchase who? He said " well Skywest would buy Republic duh we're a pretty serious company and we wouldn't settle for anything else". �� God I love pilots such a strange group of people. Thank god he had a seat in the back! There's nothing worse than some fresh outta school super pilot talking about his dreams and how he's going to get on with delta cause he knows people.��
