I appreciate this being brought to my attention. I will make sure the RAH pilots are paid the same courtesy on my flights going forward.
In other words, Republic pilots will keep the same priority they always had for your jump seat, dead last (checking in online 24 hours in advance will not count since RAH does not have the reciprocal ability). Seem like you were unaware how low they really were, because you can't make them any lower.
btw, that email is incorrect unless you incorrectly quoted it. You are not below D6, you are on par and it will be the time of check in with the gate agent up to one hour before to see who gets the jump seat. That will make it a truly reciprocal jumpseat agreement between AA and Republic.
