Who cares what the FAA thinks? Why not just implement a policy that is the same both ways. Ie, AA pilots get pref on AAC flights above other randoms and AAC get pref on AA above other randoms. Doesn't hurt AA pilots and gives a benefit to whole group.



I think Delta does it this why and their reasonable attitude might be why they are making bank over there.



If AA pilots don't want to give AAC pilots any pref on AA planes, then AAC pilots don't give any pref to AA. That's fine too, but AA pilots should own that position.



All the rest about systems / FAA is just excuses - either the union cares and will put pressure on company to get something worked out or the union doesn't. Can't imagine the company not wanting its pilot groups to get where they want to anyways - so companies interest would seem to be aligned with Republic pilots - the only folks fighting for a me first -> no cookie for anyone else seems to be the AA folks. And for what purpose? They are still first on AA planes as it should be.

The problem we have is republic messing with AA pilots now when this is a management problem.

Republic pilots are dragging AA pilots into this.

Maybe you should ask rah how much money they want to spend on your behalf to correct the issue. It appears to be a rah problem anyhow. Pony up
the cash first.
Interesting this conversation not going on the republic forum seeing that it's a republic problem.
