I'm not UAL or UAX and I never agree with jumpseat wars because nobody wins but we all know gate agents are idiots and will follow the code in the computer... So why can't you just fix the computer. Bottom line there are going to be mainline guys who are standup guys and give up the jump when a UAX guy is supposed to get it and there are those a-holes who are like "I'm mainline gee that's an unfortunate glich SEEYA" If the express carriers actually get their point across to the point where UALPA puts pressure to fix it or even just raise awareness to the point the mainline guy would be ashamed to screw the express guy out of his jump then they accomplished their mission. Obviously this hurts everybody but I just don't get the Mainline against Regional. Everybodys pay sucks. Where did mainline guys get their start? Regionals (used to be called commuters) and at that time they were all getting "stage pay" now most of them have block or better or a rig of some sort. Everybody has to start somewhere, look back twenty years and give yourself a break.
