UAL/SKW Jumpseat Screwup
For SKW people...
Apparently UAL has miscoded their computer system to give UAL, Gojet, and TSA pilots priority in SkyWest jumpseats, ahead of SKW pilots.
This is obviously not in accordance with our GOM.
Until this gets resolved favorably, PLEASE do this:
If you have an offline jumpseater, PLEASE go to the gate area and make sure that there is not a SKW pilot hanging around because the gate agent gave OUR jumpseat to another pilot. If this happens, simply explain the situation to the offline pilot and ask him to voluntarily yield to the SKW pilot. If he doesn't yield, I guess you will have to deny him.
All of us commuters will thank you.
For Mesa and Colgan: YOU guys are in even worse shape, UAL has apprently given you LAST priority on your OWN airplanes...behind UAL and ALL other UAX pilots. Might want to look into that...
