Yes, how dare they request 2nd from the bottom priority on the three legacies they support and make a lot of money for.
And to answer your next predictable argument, you won't find a pilot on property with more then 3 months seniority who hasn't flown for all three codeshares. That's part of the profit model when you have just one fleet type. If you start fencing off pilots to a single codeshare you would need to hire 10% - 20% more pilots to fly the same number of total block hours.
