How does that create a conflict of interest for the Pilots? They just fly the airplanes the same way they always do. Sometimes majors will limit their regional partners from operating flights for another major out of a hub that both majors share. You do have to remember to use the right airline name when you make announcements.

No. You just get what your seniority holds.

Skywest doesn't partner with American, so does that mean I could not ever commute on a AA flight to my base?
With very rare exceptions any US 121 airline pilot can jumpseat on any US 121 airline, including UPS and FDX. You have higher priority on your own company and then on your major partner(s).
