Trent...according to the Airways Non-Rev Guide, it states otherwise. Here's an example. Say I'm listed (S5 category) as a non-rev for a flight and another S5 shows up from another non owned express carrier, but is not listed. The flight fills up, but because he/she filled out the js form and I didn't, do I not get the js, even though I have an earlier hire date? Pretty much all of the gate agents I've encountered in 5 years have given priority to the hire date, which to me, they're suppose to.

Ultimately it'll come down to the CA if he/she wants to do something different, but that's how I read it. I always list myself in the back and get moved up to the js if it fills up, assuming no mainline pilots need it.
