Thus, the SA0X priority gets the Express employee ahead of all United employees even on the mainline metal, unless they use the vacation pass. The flight does NOT need to be a swap from Express to mainline. Many many city pairs have both express and mainline service, so it occurs frequently that you could be listed one way on express and one way on mainline the next
No it really doesn't. It properly lists SA0X on my own metal, then bumps me below you, your wife, son, daughter, cleaning lady, indentured servant, and high class friends who feel so important that they are flying united for free, and lists me properly as a SA5X on the luxury 737, so I just end up taking another airline on the jumpseat because its the only way to get anywhere anymore.
