The seats in the back belong to the parent company. The crews operating those flights are just subcontracted to move the metal. I’ll agree to give them the jumpseat, but not the back. Other than a seniority list and possibly a few planes the regionals really don’t have much. They are totally dependent on a parent company to give them routes and often times the planes that they fly. In this case those routes are United routes and the seats should honor United seniority.
