Buddy this is what the jumpseat is for. Clearly you haven't been here very long if this is what you consider a high-priority issue. You have the ability to book what is essentially a confirmed seat 8 days in advance. This is hugely better than DL's or UA's systems.
AA mainline pilots can beat Eagle pilots on Eagle metal for a seat in the back too FYI. I doubt commuters from Eagle-served cities will want to give that up.
In other words, our system is not worse, it's just different. Scratch that - our system is better just about any way you look at it. Why don't you focus on one of the million things that actually need to be changed instead of wasting time talking about a complete non-issue.
