AAG has over 960 hulls doing over 5,000 flights a day easy, on a global scale. You have a Jumpseat agreement because the APA sees some value in it. Reciprocal agreement simply means you agree to carry each others pilots... it has ZERO to do with the conditions, limitation, restrictions or any other contractual provision. Plenty have reciprocal agreements but are limited as D6L on the AAG side.
Then perhaps you should write the APA and push for that.
But you're still begging the question with your definition of reciprocity, and now you're moving the goalposts with the size discrepancy. Size has never had anything to do with it, and you know it. I know it's hard to stay on topic when your position is a losing one from a logical standpoint, but come on, man.
I'm still waiting for you to tell me a single jumpseat agreement that offers one carrier a better priority than the other. It's very obviously the exception to the rule (if it exists at all) which means it's entirely reasonable to infer that reciprocity has something to do with equal priority beyond a mutual will-carry agreement.
