Putting you ahead of other OAL's will violate the reciprocal agreements. In fact, it should not be happening at DL & UA either.

What is so hard to understand about:
Own metal
Own company (parent, sisters, subsidiaries)
OAL

You're advocating for:
Own Metal
Own Company (parent, sisters, subsidiaries)
Commercial Interest
OAL

Now, does that new step include Mesa, Skywest, and anybody else carrying AA passengers? Is it limited to only CPA carriers, or do codeshare commercial interest get it too? No, why not? What about when the CPA contracts change/aren't renewed? Are you going to pay the ridiculous money for the sabre computer programming?
Is this "new priority step" violating the JS agreements with every other pilot group by placing one OAL above another OAL for business interests which aren't supposed to be in the JS to begin with? That wasn't what the other pilot groups agreed to, so do all JS agreements now need to be redone to accommodate RAH and a commercial interest priority step?

Look.... The JS is a pilot benefit, not a company benefit, not a business interest benefit and not a commercial interest benefit. It is purely a pilot benefit under the control of the Captain.
Who an OAL pilot flys for, or whose passengers they carry this week, month, year, is irrelevant. OAL is OAL.
