All "AMR Regional Affiliates" (Republic, ExpressJet and Skywest) board after all AMR employees and their D3 "Buddy" passes - REGARDLESS of equipment. That means that an Eagle ramper's buddy will bump a republic pilot's family off if it came to that, even if it was on a Republic 175. The exception would be the jumpseat. Also, "AMR Regional Affiliates" cannot get first class, again, even if on own metal. Also, USAir employees (including Peidmont and PSA) also have higher priority.
