[QUOTE=Shiner;1669241]When traveling with the wife I usually wear business casual so I can take the Jumpseat if need be, but I've always got a seat in the back. We went to Mexico from dfw and paid $120 total for the both of us.
We still pay the fees for all first and business class flights. First class on a widebody will totally spoil you. I'd pay the fees every time for that seat and service. Ha, I'm sure I'd be paying for it too. Great to hear it's possible to get past the terminal with the lady every once in a while. Great price. |

My experience is strictly based on the US Airways system. PSA pilots have higher priority than Awac and other non wholly-owns when it comes to jumpseating on US airways mainline flights just as they do with non-reving. I've shown up to the gate more than a few times at the last second and bumped Awac pilots of the jumpseat based on my priority level. Mainline pilots do have priority over wholly-owned pilots. Most airways planes do have two jump seats. Jumpseating is not allowed on US Airways for international flights. You have to list as a non-rev to go international on airways. Going International on Airways in fairly cheap. Anywhere from $50-120 for a round trip usually. Upgrade to first class is $100 each way for international flights. Some times you can get a first class upgrade for free.

So you can bump a republic pilot and his family off a republic aircraft.
This system is so completely useless I can't image why any republic pilot would try to use their American benefits (though I have seen some try.) We do have access for all the other codeshare nonrev systems.. this is only a problem for AA branding. |

For Republic Flights under American branding... this should almost never happen. Republic pilots have no access to JetNet (program used to make, change, and cancel nonrev listings, check in, and to see AAL flight loads). They are required to e-mail the corporate office at least 5 days in advance to make a listing, and then receive standby tickets (first time you see your PNR) in the mail.

UA for XJT we get sa0x priority on our own company and sa2x on Skywest. Sa5 on mainline or other regionals. UA can use vacation passes(which we don't have) to bump us off our own acft... F-up but that's the way it is. Definitely can make commuting interesting.

Envoy pilots can also bump AWAC pilots out of the JS. We also have the same priority on USAir like PSA and PDT.
Any idea where Mesa fits into to this? I've emailed the union JS chair to find out exactly what the priority is for the US Jumpseat, but haven't heard anything back yet. Envoy is part of the wholly owned now? Is Mesa also on that level? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk As far as the jump seat goes, usually you have priority on your own metal. |
