And alot of my fellow pilots just say, “eh who cares”. Talk to your friends at Delta and ask if they would ever lose a seat to a Connection pilot. The AA pilot group is toothless when it comes to stuff like this.
How have you lost a ride home to a regional pilots on mainline metal if you have the ability to reserve a Jumpseat over a week in advance?
Even if you don't reserve it, you still get the mainline jumpseat over any regional pilot.
Clearly you're new here. Talk to your APA mentor and have them walk you through how reserving jumpseats works.
