I fit in there right along with all the other OAL's
Also, having spent 10 years at AAG and having numerous friends there, I'm not enjoying seeing them get screwed over by a bunch of malcontents that have better travel benefits than almost all other carriers; and they still want more.
If you knew anything about me, you'd know that I don't have to have skin in the game directly myself to fight for my coworkers (now friends since I left)…. although, in this case I do.
I never knew you guys had super priority at UA & DL... I'd have lobbied against that too. OAL is OAL for JS purposes. Corporate interests aren't supposed to enter into who gets the jumpseat. Letting the company have ANY say in who goes first beyond your own employees is just opening the door and letting the company stick their foot in. Later they'll make a change requiring a DH pilot to take the JS if there are no JS'ers and it gets additional revenue on.... after all your argument is that you aid the bottom line.... well, so would you riding up front on a DH to get another paying PAX on. Then it will be "fly it and grieve it."
It's a slippery slope you've opened at UA & DL and it's just a matter of time until they put out the email and tell you flights under 2 hours, pilots will take the JS if it's open to get more revenue on.
Do you seriously think the outsourcing to regionals started with 51% of all domestic flying? You've opened a door that should not have been opened.

As far as AAG, nothing changes. They will still have priority over RAH. so there goes that argument too.
No, there is something deep rooted here that is driving you. Nobody is falling for this "crusader" bullcrap. Nope, something happened in your infamous past that drives you to post about this.
P.S. how is that Delta thread going? lol
