So what evidence is there to support this?

In cockpit. We've all had the rug pulled out. I was pulled from the JS once by a fed who was observing on his way home at the last minute.

Are you seriously still battling me on this? He was deadheading and had a seat assigned to him in the back. That's a fact. The agent herself and the deadheader told me so. Why can't you just accept that? Jesus.

Does AWAC own routes and slots? I thought united took care of that back in the day

It happens ever so often on mainline too. And I friken hate It. Flights full all day and trying to get home, number one for the Jumpseat, and wham. A deadheader shows up and says, I can take the Jumpseat if it helps get another revenue passenger on. I could've killed him

At mainline AA you aren't a PS deadhead. You only go above nonrevs. If there are no seats you get left behind.

I can't see PSA purchasing AWAC. Wouldn't that have to be approved by AAG? What they just staple the AWAC list on the bottom of our sheet? I can't see y'all going for that nor would I blame you. I'm still a teary eye newbie at PSA. So I can't say much if it would happen.

Not true. Depends on the situation.
