175 SKYW guys can Jumpseat on SKYW metal by simply calling the dispatcher and getting added to the release. Had to do this several times because I refused to pay for the benefits and there would be another guy in the same boat and the more senior would of course get priority but a simple call to the dispatcher and we both get on...

Ok. Once and for all.... Here it is.
SkyWest 175 pilots have no Delta NONREV benefits. Fine.
But...
SkyWest 175 pilots can not JUMPSEAT on any delta flight. Not even SkyWest equipment. We can't pay $50 to JUMPSEAT. There is a back door but it's only slightly effective depending on the gate agent.
Bro and CRJ pilots can JUMPSEAT on anyone regardless of which brand they fly or dedicated to. 175 guys can jump on anyone but DELTA paint planes.... Even Skywest delta paint!!!
This has been happening since the intro of the 175. (There have been Nonrev issues prior... but the jumpseat issue is isolated to the 175 pilots and delta jump seats.
Clear enough? This is super frustrating because no one seems to know about it and therefore no one cares to fix it!
