Not discussed in this thread yet: Do you think AA's policy of pilots not allowed to ride in flight attendant jumpseats (plane leaves with empty seats) will prevail? Or will US airways policy win (the way it should be - all seats available)?

Otherwise, within your respective carrier (AA or AE), it's always straight seniority. You can show up last minute and trump
a junior (or AE) pilot. Same is true on an Eagle flight -- any AE pilot trumps an AA pilot, regardless of seniority.
Trip book requires check in 30 prior. Also required the JS to be issued 15 prior.
Causing a delay with a last minute fight over a JS us a good way to lose travel benefits. Most CA's won't allow this monkey business that close to departure anyway.
I don't care if you're seniority #1 in the company... If its less than 15 prior and the other guy has already stowed his gear and is hooking in the chair. It's over. You missed check in; and its already been issued. If the guy wants to give you the seat, that's his business at that point. But there will not be a delay to make that happen.
We don't get too many on the pond hops anyway.
