Curious: what happens at AA when you list for an AA flight and then shortly before departure an IROP hits and you’re forced to change your listing to another flight. Do you keep your original “seniority” you had on the standby list for the TU flight or do you get forced to the bottom of the new flight you list for? You can have the gate agents roll it over, or you can change to a D1 pass, but in the case of an IROP, you're probably hosed either way. |

How out of touch do you have to be to think there are pilots out there who still work for "Eagle"?

You don't want to see what it looks like with pure seniority space A travel. Imagine you're commuting, and the night before there are 15 seats. You put in for both a jumpseat and a seat in the back.
When you show up to the airport, you all of a sudden see that there are 20 listed for the 15 seats, 3/4 of which are 1990s hires FAs, their 20-year old kids, and their spouses, and a handful of senior captains. You're out of luck for the back of the plane. The jumpseat only shows you, though. You're going to make it! Then, as you're waiting for a flight to board, a senior captain with a mustache, cell phone holster and tasseled penny loafers shows up at gate. He proceeds to grab the jump seat, and you're left stranded for your commute. The best you might get from him is a "sorry bud, best luck next time". Many such cases. Don't ask for this, because it's hell. |

That's industry norm as far as I know, not AAL only problem.
Delta, Southwest, JetBlue, Spirit, Frontier, and other carriers allow pilots to use cabin jumpseats. |

We all know who “eagle” pilots work for. |

It isn’t.
Delta, Southwest, JetBlue, Spirit, Frontier, and other carriers allow pilots to use cabin jumpseats. I'm willing to bet the company would prefer pilots have access to empty FA jumpseats since it would improve reliability and reduce commuter misses. |

The APFA swooping in to piggyback our weight restricted jumpseat clause we negotiated was awesome too…
