Hopefully this gets fixed soon.

Yea apparently it stems back from when their was only one wholly owned. Now that there’s three they can’t update Sabre to show FDJ PDT or FDJ ENY lol.

FDJ EAG = PSA, PDT, & ENY
Envoy pilots are ahead of mainline on PSA and PDT as well...

I know. I just didn’t list out all the possible scenarios. It’s in the process of getting fixed apparently.

Why should a mainline pilot go before an eagle pilot on an eagle flight? I don’t commute, but if I did I’d be ****ed if that were the case. Maybe with the “change” the company will give eagle pilots the ability to reserve the JS a week in advance.

Bc “eagle” isn’t an airline. Your options are American, PSA, Piedmont or Envoy. Company pilots should get priority on their own metal then time of check in for the rest.

I don’t see why any wholly owned guys would be opposed to this. It’s how it’s done everywhere else and you’ll spend a lot more time at mainline than at the regional. Well unless you’re a lifer in which case lol.

Well, because I'm not a fan of just ****ting on the new guy. When you're down there looking for scraps it's nice to get a morsel or two. Why make this an issue that your union is looking at?

"It's how it's done everywhere else. . ." great argument there as well . . .

Why do our planes say American Eagle then? We don't work at American Airlines, and you don't work at American Eagle. We share overlords, paint jobs and passengers.

I wouldn’t be opposed to mainline pilots having priority over off-line Eagle pilots on other WO metal.

But really the thing I would love to see is for AAC be listed as, “AAC FDJ”. That would help out tremendously for commuting. Especially for those who have to commute on the contract “Eagle” regionals.

Them separating the each WO listing by company will be nice as well. PSA FDJ, EVY FDJ, PDT FDJ etc...
