I liked what you had to say but this sentence is a little off. That regional was sold off by continental and like every airline it has the right to offer or not offer its jumpseat to anyone it wants. The regionals employees were going to be negatively affected while an outside third party airline was going to get priority trying to get to work another airlines flights? How would that be right?

You supported CAL and UAL pilots getting priority over regionals while jumpseating on mainline then it is very easy to propose Regionals getting priority on other regionals jumpseats. With regionals making up almost 40% of all domestic lift you are going to have a hard time getting to work especially if you live in a small city. Our jumpseat committee wasnt even notified of this little love fest between your unions until the deal was almost signed. You cant expect to upset the status quo and potentially affect another persons QOL without a fight. Blame your management or whoever you want for the RJ's flying around but the pilots are just trying to get to work.
