A quick question when you have time. Regarding the jumpseat priority for your aircraft, do the Delta pilots have a higher priority than Skywest or the same?

Thanks!

 

I assume this is related to the UAX Jumpseat war...

Yes, DL goes after our pilots/dispatchers and before everyone else.

However on every other Delta connection flight, jumpseat priority is

1)operating airline
2)by time of checkin, Delta Connection/Delta Pilots
3) OAL

 

Thank you. Yes, I'm a United pilot just trying to get some perspective in all this lunacy.

It's essentially the same as the current proposal except we have exclusive and non exclusive express carriers.

 

*shrug* more reasons to bring all the flying in house.

 

You guys make it sound so simple. Yes, great idea. But some companies made it clear that they don’t want all the pilots to follow that flying.

 

I think he was flippantly joking a bit. Obviously it's not that easy. Would be nice though

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.

 

I believe this is correct.

United pilot first then Republic and ExpressJet would be time of check-in.

 

I believe the NEW way would not be that since Republic, SkyWest and Mesa are non exclusive and therefor it would not be time of checkin between Expressjet and republic
