You do have a reciprocal agreement.
Own metal
Owned
OAL
You are a reciprocal OAL like everybody else. Not any better, or worse then the rest. Any other argument put a business interest into the jumpseat assignment which should not exist, and must not allow the foot in the door.
I'll tell you where this is headed. The pilot unions control the jumpseat agreements, at somepoint you'll **** of APA enough to get them to talk with their conterparts at United and Delta that it isn't fair that an AA guy is getting left behind because OAL RAH guys are getting priority.... so, AA will be putting RAH guys ahead of both DAL and UAL guys effective XYZ date unless both carriers stop putting RAH ahead of OAL.
The losers here are going to be the 2500 pilots at RAH, not the collective 35,000+ at mainlines. You've already got better travel and JS deals than most, but you guys just don't know when to quit.
