AA by virtue of offering me all these elite perks has pretty much convinced me to always fly with them rather than going price shopping. I wouldn’t discount this. Even if AA’s prices are $20-$30 higher, I’d still pick AA.
DL Plat's and Diamond's basically get C+ at booking. While it's possible there may not be inventory in the C+ upgrade bucket at booking time, it's pretty rare. In the one case I experienced it, there was just one C+ seat left and it was a middle seat (so I wouldn't have taken it anyway).
