Who has the best JS rules isn’t relevant. We need to find a home for clowndown. He isn’t interested in Delta. Who can blame him with his credentials and stuff? He keeps posting here though…
I’m hoping that FedEx buddy comes through and he starts posting over there. When is the last time FedEx had a direct entry Captain that rocked their world? Someone is about to kick down some doors and straighten that place up!

but even if not I’d still rather have time of checkin vs our current system. The same logic applies to JS and that seems to work.

No one is saying the Delta program can't be improved. I just object to being bumped by a connection carrier on my commute home just because they were able to check in before me. I don't care for the SWA version of checking in and I don't care for it nonreving either. I admit it is frustrating how people "game" the system here by waiting until the last minute to book. This is certain preventable but I have also been under the AA system and didn't care for it.

I've been "that family of 6" that shows up at the last minute. Every time, we were listed days ahead of time on a different flight that ended up looking bad, and we chose a different flight/route to get where we wanted to go. Here's my example from this summer:
Planning on going to Paris from a hub city. Flights were bad, bad a week ahead and didn't get any better, so we planned on going Hub-London-(ZED fare)-Paris. ON THE WAY to the airport, I casually check the direct Paris flight and see its now got 25 open seats. Well shoot - lets do that. So when we pull in the parking lot, we switch to Paris and go check-in. Turns out a DFW-hub flight was 3 hours late for thunderstorms down there and a large group was going to misconnect. We got on and avoids the hassle of going through London.

All pilots: Who the hell is this lady with 5 little kids and a seniority date before I was born?
Pilots will never be the most senior nonrevs, ever based off of age when normally hired (I know it's trending super young, but FA will always be hired younger barring 1-2 outliers) and that we have to retire at 65.

I’ll take the predictability and planning advantages of check-in time priority over the perceived “fairness” of seniority-based priority any day. There are very few people at AA (even the most senior) who would take our nonrev system over theirs.
