SkyWest flight. Non-exclusive regional so we'll use the non-exclusive regional chart.
We have three jumpseaters.
UA
UAXE
UAX
Looks like all 3 of them fall in category 4 and it would be by time of check in.
Looks like actually we were both wrong and it's actually time of checkin for all 3 of them. Which is even better for us (OO) pilots than what either of us thought.

Ok, we'll walk through this step-by-step then.

Do you happen to have the pictures for all the different scenarios?

It is nearly identical to Delta's JS priority. The only distinction I can see is on exclusive airlines other exclusive airline pilots have priority over non-exclusive. But the only reason for that is Endeavor is the only exclusive Delta regional. I'm sure if there were others they'd be above non-exclusive regionals as well.

Can you please expand your answer in a few different scenarios
1. Delta flight with 2 JS, one Endeavor and a SkyWest/Republic guy
2. Endeavor flight with 2 JS, one Delta and a SkyWest/Republic guy
3. SkyWest/Republic flight with 2 JS, one Endeavor and a Delta guy
my Assumption is:
1. Endeavor over SkyWest/Republic
2. Delta over SkyWest/Republic
3. Time of checkin
Same scenario on the UA new one would be
1. UA flight with 2 JS, one ExpressJet and a SkyWest/Republic guy
2. ExpressJet flight with 2 JS, one UA and a SkyWest/Republic guy
Now this is where it gets really complicated
3. SkyWest flight with 3 JS, one ExpressJet and a UA guy and a Republic
my Assumption is it will be:
1. ExpressJet over SkyWest/Republic
2. UA over SkyWest/Republic
3. UA over ExpressJet, ExpressJet over Republic. And if there were more non exclusive JS there would be time of checking between them. Literarily non exclusive would never get on a 3rd party regional JS.

The ALPA jumpseat app has all this information or you can email the jumpseat committee at said airline.

Right now only Gojet has signed the agreement and is the only UAXE... the others became OAL until they sign.

That is a substantial difference in jumpseat priority. I can see why other airlines would be upset about United trying to force them to go to their non-standard system. I can also see why they would be upset that United is using the idea of "airlines that agree to this change get to have a higher priority than those who don't" and would give UAL pilots the same treatment (which is what I am assuming is happening).

So when does JS get released for those "no show" 1985 hires to a guy who was there an hour early? Or does the flight go late or more likely with no JS...
