This system is so completely useless I can't image why any republic pilot would try to use their American benefits (though I have seen some try.)
We do have access for all the other codeshare nonrev systems.. this is only a problem for AA branding.
Skywest gets those same AA "benefits." Only your spouse and kids are eligible. Parents are not and if you're not married you can't designated a travel companion. Everyone has to pay a segment fee. Since I'm not married and have no kids and my parents can't use my benefits they're beyond useless. If I listed using our benefits I'd have to pay for something that I can get for free by listing for jumpseat.
I don't know who in management agreed to that crap.
