What fight have YOU done for us? Quit claiming your an innocent bystander when you have literally been content with maintaining the status quo of you having a priority while we don't receive any priority. That is not a reciprocal agreement. Not even close to being one.
It's not a jumpseat war when we will literally begin following the agreement to the T as it was written.
For three years our jumpseat committee has been trying to have this fixed... For those three years, we still continued to take AA pilots over other pilots in our jumpseat. You had plenty of chances to stand up for us, but instead your jumpseat committee and AA felt it was more important to take a JetBlue, Delta, United, SWA, Fedex, Netjets, etc pilots in the jumpseat instead of a pilot who directly supports the AA network.
It amazing how when we are actually going to begin enforcing it, that all the sudden AA decides to come to their sense and might actually come to the table over the issue... our Enforcement is still on btw, it's only been pushed back. Republic has given AA an extra two weeks to negotiate a solution, otherwise come October 1st, you will still need to list as a D6 within an hour of departure time just like everyone else.
