If you list and end up getting a seat in first YOU WILL GET CHARGED for the first class seat...one way around this is to not list and go the gate and tell them you want to "OMC" and then make sure you get your OMC card along with your seat assignment... I commute from a place with only UAX single class planes so my info may be a bit wrong...but that is my understanding.
I've noticed a few guys asking about J/S priority it was all jacked up for a while, but about 6 months ago it finally got settled. Now its pretty cut and dry and they have a sheet you can fill out (some gate agents make you fill it out even though you can only find them online) So make sure you keep some on you. Even though they have the sheet taped at the gate I have no idea why they cant just use it as a guide.... Anyways priority is
UAL or UAX flights
1. Pilots in order of DOH for the airline who's metal is flying the flight.
2. UAL/UAX pilots first come first serve..so a UAX guy could beat a UAL guy
3. OAL pilots
As I told some Expressjet guys a few days ago..."welcome to the suck that is UAX"
Line 1 is right but after that it depends on who you are flying and who you work for.
For example Jumpseats on UAL goes UAL Pilots first then UAX Pilots. K1 K2 K3 H priority and if there are two K1's it goes by First Come or time stamp on the jump seat card you get.
I believe the only pilots that are K1 is Trans States and GoJet because they only fly for United and also they have a deal with UAL to give them priority first after their own pilots on their metal, Masa is K2 and Shuttle is H.
There is a Card out there that explains it all alot better. If I get a chance I will upload it.
