Not to mention PSA was around 500 pilots back then. There was no leverage then (just like you have no leverage now). When I went to PSA I didn’t have a clue about 121. I went where I could easily commute to since we weren’t in a position to move. And given what I know now I still wouldn’t have chose differently.

SkyWest has directly benefitted from the money and efforts of ALPA pilots. And you have given nothing in return except for wasting ALPA dues on the laughable attempts to unionize.

It’s funny how so many SkyWest pilots spew this nonsense. “ALPA hasn’t done anything for regionals”. You couldn’t be more mistaken. And you couldn’t be more ill-informed about what exactly it is that ALPA does.
Some Skywest pilots live in an alternate reality. One of our K4 captains was jumpseating on a Skywest flight, the Skywest FO told the captain, "we are hiring, you should send in your resume".

Is the answer dictate jumpseat priority upon the lower ALPAs with threats to their career.

I am sure you were at Junior high back then so ask a senior pilot there if there is one.
PSA has no room to talk about unity I may say
1996? Holy hell. You're not even in the right century. That was 2003. It was called Jets for jobs. And provided some furlough protection for usairways pilots.

Could somebody with knowledge of the topic please care to explain what where these changes UALPA is saying Skywest, Republic and Mesa didn’t agree to back in May and is the reason we are all dumped to the “OAL” priority?

And has there been official communication from our Union on the topic that I’ve missed somehow?... in addition to the email in October 11th explaining the new jumpseat priority.

United wants priority #1 on any aircraft with United paint on it.

It's been going on for a couple of years that they've tried this.

Completely false.

Own metal always goes first. Geez where are guys coming up with this stuff.

On non exclusive it’s still TOC for everyone after that. The charts are everywhere. You guys need to take a step back and see what the agreement is before going off the rails.
UAX NON-EXCLUSIVE CARRIER JUMPSEAT ACCESS:

Priority on UAX Non-Exclusive Aircraft Jumpseat (GoJet)
1 - FAA, Government, or Approved United Personnel
Must Ride
2 - Operating Carrier Pilots
(e.g. GoJet Pilot on a GoJet flight)
Date of Hire
3 - Operating Carrier Dispatchers
Date of Hire
4 - UA and UAX Pilots
Time of Check-in
5 -UA and UAX Dispatchers
Time of Check-in
6 -Other Airline Pilots
Time of Check-in
7- Other Airline Dispatchers
Time of Check-in
8 - Other Airline Non - CASS Pilots
Time of Check-in
9 -FAA ATC
Time of Check-in

When Skywest RAH and Mesa sign they join GoJet in this chart.

Attention: mesa jumpseating pilots, make sure the crew knows you are at the gate, despite what you have heard from Ual-Mec or Mesa Alpa, ual Gate agents may put you behind mainline pilot for your own jumpseat. Don’t be passive.

Gate agents don’t “put” you anywhere. They simply add your info. Are you even a 121 pilot?

I don't count own metal. Everyone has own metal as #1.

Here's the "chart" that's been in play for over 7 years. That everyone negotiated and agreed to. And yes United pretty much forced a change from this agreed upon format to




Own Metal (Happy)
United (always)
Express (but only the special kids)
Everyone else

United updated the chart to align with the rest of the industry. Priority on our non exclusives hasn’t changed. It’s the same as it always was. All UA/UAX are time of check-in behind the operating airline.

The only change is on UA and UAX exclusive flights where united has joined what DAL and American do with their exclusive (WO).

So again what is all the pushback about? Nobody is asking for any change to RAH, Mesa or Skywest plane priorities. It’s Own then all UA/UAX TOC.

The only change is on UA metal and UAL exclusive metal. Neither of which the non exclusives have any say in.
