Correct. It does recognize that flight as an eligible listing for pilot commuting. Cant do it on any AA branded flight. So pretty much we are screwed. AA management is enjoying it though, they hate us anyway.

Hmm, ok. It might have changed in the last few years. If so, than I am mistaken, and I apologize. Most other delta non-wholly owned went at equal priority on own metal, not ahead. I was not aware skywest had such an agreement to be given priority ahead of other s3's. I think at others it is s3 on own metal and in seniority order with all other delta employees and s3c off metal.

Good luck with getting AA gate agents to do anything you say. The whole thing is stupid. It isnt republics fault but AA is paying for that flight and thus should get priority over OAL JSers. But hey, lets not let common sense enter into the equation and put the Delta guy in the JS on an American Eagle flight that American is paying for. Umm
I’m operating a flight on my go home leg for Eagle, and wouldn’t you know it, flights full with a Delta jumpseater and an American jumpseater. What’s being honored now is American first then obviously the Delta pilot is oal and doesn’t get on. I ask the American JSer where they are operating and wouldn’t you know it, s/he is operating the flight I’m trying to jumpseat home on. Great, until I get to the gate and a Delta pilot is trying to commute home on the same flight and has checked in before me. Now I’m stuck at the airport because you won’t give me/us priority on your flights.
We are not asking to go ahead of AA mainline or WOs, but wouldn’t you agree a reciprocal agreement would at least give us some priority over oal?

We have now leveled the playing field and AA is an OAL just like we are OAL on AA. Reciprocal.

I understand your last point but take the following for example:

I guess we will just have to agree to disagree.

that is some twisted logic demanding something you are not willing to reciprocate

Skywest is not exclusive on United or Delta, but they get priority over other offline. I believe Compass gets priority on Delta over other offline too, and they do the AA flying also. I doubt Delta & United pilots has any issues since they get priority on Delta Connection or United Express that's operated by Skywest over other offline. I don't understand why it's such a big deal to put an Eagle guy over an offline that has no affiliation with AA.
