They put the letter on union letterhead today at Republic. My understanding is that the union committees have been working on this for months. Sounds like they reached a impasse, and this is the result. I don’t think Skywest is union, so I don’t know what letterhead they would use.

 

SAPA official letter head consists of construction paper and crayons.

 

Trying to figure out where the other UAL JS thread went... word is UAL is not unilaterally adjusting the priority.

It’s Status Quo for now, which means they will not change without negotiations. Doesn’t mean they can’t negotiate a new agreement, which I assume is their long term plan. Probably the best outcome for everyone, and no one should be bragging..,

 

Not sure if you think I was bragging, but I wasn’t... I was simply asking to see if anyone had posted there about it on their end.

It’s best for all parties if this is resolved amicably.

I also found it strange the thread is gone.

Not at all. No idea where that thread went, but it was getting pretty rough. I suspect the OP requested it be deleted. I’m just happy it was resolved without escalation to a full blown JS war.

 

It didn't seem to be resolved when the thread was closed and then deleted. Good to hear it is resolved though.

 

Any Jumpseater ever comes to me to tattle that the other jumpseater raced them down the concourse to the gate, I'm throwing both your asses off the plane. I'm not a kindergarten teacher.

 

This isn't about racing someone to a gate, this is about being first at the gate but someone is listed who shouldn't be and allowing it to be known. It's the captain's responsibility to ensure protocol and priority is followed.

 

You need to go back and read the OP, because you're not really following what happened. The gate changed and the other guy raced down the concourse and got in line ahead of her at the new gate. In the OP's own words: " And guess who bolted & is now in front of me." The OP has no idea whether "protocol and priority" was followed, (nor do you or the captain) because both jumpseaters got on the plane. Presumably, if there was only one seat available, the UAX OP would have been boarded instead of off-line other guy. We have no way of knowing that the established priority was not followed, because again, both jumpseaters got on the plane. So, yeah, this is *exactly* about the other guy racing to the new gate in getting in line first. I'm not defending the other guy fast-walking to the next gate to get ahead of the jumpseater who was first to the original gate, but c'mon this is a completely CS issue to go tattling to the Captain about. If you have issues with the other guy's etiquette, man up and tell him yourself. If you have reason to believe that established JS priority was broken (and there is no solid reason to believe that here, it's all pure speculation on what might have been.) then ask your JS coordinator to bring up the issue with the other airline's JS coordinator.
