It really boils down to two choices.
1) UAL pilots get priority over the UAX jumpseats by the very fact the tail has a United logo on it.
2) UAL pilots get SECOND priority over the jumpseat right AFTER the pilots of that one Express carrier.

Depending on how you answer this question will determine how you think about this action. No one wants this pi$$ing match, but it's never the wrong time to do the right thing.
Finally, the UAL MEC is starting to listen. The UAX letter, however poorly timed, is the only way to right a wrong.
Yes but people are forgetting that according to the UAL Software code a TSA/GoJet pilot can bump all other UAX pilots off their own jumpseat. Which means that in ORD a SKW pilot can be bumped off a SKW JS by a GoJet pilot. Now that infuriates me.

The order should go (on a SKW FLT).
1. SKW
2. ASA
3. UAL or DAL (based on which code share it is)
4. UAX or Delta Connect Carriers (based upon which code share it is)
5. All Other s

NOT: (on the UAL side)
1. UAL
2. TSA/GoJet
3. SKW
4. ASA
5. UAX
6. All Others
