Non-Operating Regional Partner:
UAX employees and their accompanied pass riders will board on other regional partners metal directly below mainline employees and retirees not traveling on a vacation pass. Boarding is by seniority within the leisure boarding priority. The boarding priority is SA2X.

Thank you for the correction(s)....I learned something as well.
My apoligies to all for the misinformation.

Something else to watch for:
An individual can only (supposed to) change the classification of the pass (changing from standby SA1P to vacation SA0V pass) up to an hour before departure. If they are changing the pass to a vacation pass within the hour to bump someone else, this is against UA policy and they could loss their pass privileges. Good luck getting that done though.

I ask because I've been denied the jumpseat for weight reasons and would like to know if that was situational or if I need to find alternate commuting options.

The LR has trouble with short runways, occasionally zero fuel weight issues and landing weight issues on short legs and long legs with alternates.

If I'm non reving and see a flight operated by commutair it's safe to assume some major disruption. Why even look at loads when it's a commutair flight. Odds are it's not going to operate.
