According to what I understand it to be is that those airlines that do not have pass agreements (non rev benefits) with UAL.

- Only JS will be allowed up front for the amount of JS that are avail.
- UAL owns EVERY seat in the back and if there is room in the back and you are trying to JS, you MUST have paid your Non Rev benefits fee, OR have an ID90 for travel. Thus company policy only allows an OAL pilot to sit up front if there is not a seat in the back. THE BIG CATCH 22...

This is how it has been explained to us at SkyWest... There are a few that I have flown with that plan to deny the jumpseat to UAL commuters if this comes into play... But just like any controversy it seems that some that I have asked their opinion about while jumpseating just shrug their shoulders and say that it is wrong but what can we do, its what it is...
