I know on the RJ, you can get into a situation where the JS can't be occupied. You need a lot of ballast to get back in CG, but when you try that, you will be overweight.
I'm assuming that in the context you guys are referring to, "weight and balance considerations" means something else. Could someone enlighten me?
If you book the jumpseat they will remove pax before you. You're basically guaranteed that seat if the flight operates.
It's beyond insane the AA guys won't even consider our way.
A hybrid system would be a stupid compromise IMO.
On a side note, any word on if we will have priority in the back regardless of who operates the flight? I heard that AA has priority on any Eagle codeshare flight in back, regardless of carrier. IE Mesa, SkyWest, Republic, etc.
