We have more than wholly owned carriers flying our Regional lift. So another strike again the horrible generalization of "Eagle". Again, being out of touch.
Merry what ever holiday/feeling/season you subscribe to. |

Had the DL bennies back in the day and I can’t tell you how many times I thought I was getting on a flight home only to have 20 people list ahead of me 2-3 hours before departure time.

We have priority for the jumpseat on our own aircraft of course, but a PSA/Piedmont/Envoy pilot or employee can beat a 35+ year AA captain for a non rev (D2) seat in the back on their own metal! This would be laughable to Delta pilots who protect their own. Delta Connection pilots do not receive any benefit to this level, not to mention they also never receive profit sharing. I find that AA/APA has a total push over attitude towards fighting for their own pilot group. This is not an attack on the regional folks, just an observation that we readily allow our benefits to be diluted compared to other legacy pilot groups.

That would make a lot more sense, and would be great.
I posted that sad tale above because that exact thing happens at UA. I would even put in a JS request 5-7 days earlier to broadcast my intent, and the same Dbags would show up 30 mins prior to bump me at their convenience. The CA of the flight, to his great credit, gave the WB guy a ****ed off look and then turned to me. "As far as I'm concerned, the jumpseat is yours," and turns to the now-red-faced WBCA. "Captain, next time, you might want to list more than a minute before the door closes." I was still on probation, so I thanked the CA , grabbed my bag, and told the WBCA "it's all yours... Captain." Spent the night in a hotel. We really need some kind of cutoff at UAL for JS listing. 30 minutes prior to push, perhaps ? Not one minute, as is the current policy. These super senior guys pull this nonsense frequently |

Truly we have a battered wife syndrome or something here. Hey, buddy, they arent your company. You probably flowed I know, but do you understand that? And they can beat you for a seat on your own metal.
