I lived in base until you so cruelly and rudely pointed out how the MIA flying was shifted. Thanks for the suggestion.

what does Skywest’s JS agreements look like? They fly for Delta, United, Alaska, and American don’t they? I honestly don’t know, just curious if this “industry standard” you speak of applies to them.

It does apply to them. Clearly the issue here is the lack of education as to how current JS agreements are structed

Did something change recently or are we just renewing the ****ing contest? I haven’t seen anything new from APA. Did republic publish something new recently ?

I meant do they have agreements with all those airlines they fly for similar to what yall are seeking with AA? Seems like they would be in a similar situation as Republic based on the type of flying they do and how their pilots fly across multiple brands like yall do I believe.

Again. Yes. It seems the issue here is the lack of knowledge of existing and current industry standard JS agreements

Our JS Committee informed us APA has walked away and as a result nothing further can be done. We would have preferred option 1 to be implemented but now APA has chosen option 2.

So then you guys do get priority on DAL and UAL over everyone else like I said earlier. So if I try to jumpseat on Delta, I’ll get bumped out by a RAH pilot. UAL, same thing. And that goes for Alaska Fedex JetBlue etc pilots trying to jumpseat too. Now you want the same on AA and you’re being told no, and that’s causing a temper tantrum. Seriously, who do you guys think you are? If that’s how the other two big guys want to write their agreements then that’s their prerogative. “Industry standard” doesn’t mean it’s right.

Cool beans. Will be interesting to see the outcome. Either way we all gotta live with it and abide.

that’s why I suggested in not so many words that Republic pilots “pick” an airline they want to have this better priority on, they don’t get to cherry-pick from all 3...so the little video they keep linking left out this very scenario you described....
