I feel like a broken record, but getting priority on all of our flights while we get priority on about half of yours is not reciprocal. Factor in that many of our planes have multiple jumpseats and it becomes even more skewed.
At the end of the day, it’s the weaponization of the jumpseat that is where you guys took a very wrong turn. It’s also what seals your legacy.

I think the truth of the matter is that you are angry that a Regional dares to stand up for what is right, which you didn't have the guts to do yourself while you were there. The problem lies within you, not Republic.

Is that about right or do I have it wrong?

The last time YX management agreed to change the JS priority table in the FOM for our AE flights APA and AA management agreed to a band aid fix which prevented the FOM change from being implemented. Covid happened. AA IT finally had the time and resources to implement AAC FDJ and this time APA refused to even engage. As a result it is APA who has chosen the change which negatively impacts the AAG pilots. Keep in mind YX pilots are not affected by this. We are already OAL JS as far as AA is concerned

By the way when's the last time an AAG pilot rode a FA JS to get a JS in the FDJ? Because we do that happily to get pilots onboard.
