The reason ACEY and Skyw are different is that we wouldn't put up with it....If mainline gets priority on us...it will be a cold day in He!! before you mainline folks get a jumpseat on ACEY...probably the same on Skywest....

We either go DOH on each other....or we get priority on our own aircraft...You folks don't get to have it both ways...

So, are you saying that we have already adopted this program? If so where is it documented?

Thanks

Never said that. The question was asked what NWA's program was. The key word is WAS. We DID NOT adopt their program.

I guess some people will never get the purpose of the jumpseat and the rules regarding its use and how hard some worked to restore the jumpseat after 11 Sep when the FAA planned to kill it forever.

Sailing is correct.

When ASA was bought it had its own code and use to award PS ASA travel to its employees. Delta bought that code when they bought ASA. Delta kept that code when they sold ASA, but the vestiges of ASA's old code and pass policy remained. SkyWest just did a "me too" since management gives them anything ALPA has to keep the "student council" in "power" and avoid a real collective bargaining agent on the SKYW property.

It must be frustrating to keep calling jumpseat jihads just to have the unfaithful continue to allow the infidels a seat on an airplane going home after a 9 day international trip. Maybe next time ....

Fortunately your new 90 seaters are never weight limited because they have 14 passengers missing. Great airplane for jumpseating

One of Delta managements first mistakes What a shame. I like stress.

Yes, I'm guilty of PWD in Narita.

Sigh,
