Would it change your opinion one way or the other if you knew the answer? Would be interested to know before I answer your question.

It doesn’t change what is fair, but.... If this turns into a ****ing match it makes a big difference in the next contract if those are indeed our aircraft. They may not be, I don’t know. I can tell you, myself and a lot of other American pilots are tired of getting bumped off Jumpseats that are owned by AA. The place to fix things like that are at the union and management level though, not acting like little children at the gate. Thankfully I rarely commute on our RJs.

In other words, Republic pilots will keep the same priority they always had for your jump seat, dead last (checking in online 24 hours in advance will not count since RAH does not have the reciprocal ability). Seem like you were unaware how low they really were, because you can't make them any lower.
btw, that email is incorrect unless you incorrectly quoted it. You are not below D6, you are on par and it will be the time of check in with the gate agent up to one hour before to see who gets the jump seat. That will make it a truly reciprocal jumpseat agreement between AA and Republic.

Ok we’ll make sure to take a selfie with the gate agent so that our new check in time is in terms you understand 👍

The jumpseat will go empty because the American Airlines employed gate agent has their manual on how to do their job. You can refuse a jumpseat rider as per your FOM but that doesn’t mean your book can make them do their job incorrectly.
