This I agree. As far as regional lift goes, you guys have been as reliable as they come and I’ve had nothing but professionalism on my JS and been treated the same (still wish you guys would join ALPA but that’s another story for another thread) But at the end of the day, on United routes and flying planes with United Express trying to demand who gets gets on in what order (after your own people, nobody is even dreaming of changing that) who do you think controls the seats?
Yes the captain will always get final say. If he wants to go rouge that’s fine, we’ll pass his name on to ALPA and let UAL buy us a ticket and bump someone or just catch the next flight. UAL owns every seat already. Our commuter clause is pretty nice. It won’t interrupt UAL mainline operations. Will Skywest pay UAL to get you to work?
