Standby Privileges
So I've looked through recent forums, but want to get this as clear as possible.
How does the standby privileges work at Republic Airlines. For example, would you get the lowest priority on any major carrier (DL, American, United)?
What airline has the best standby privilege opportunity for people at Republic Airlines?
Is first class even ever expected or is it a rare gift when flying standby?

We have privileges on all three airlines.
We take first priority - even over mainline employees - on our own metal. This is fairly standard in the regional industry.
Other than that we share priority with other regional airlines with some exceptions. AA wholly owned carriers get on before we do on an AA flight, for example.
First class is a rare blessing for domestic flying. People seem to get it fairly often on international travel. I've not done international travel yet so can't comment there.

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been upgraded internationally to business/first. Easily over 10 times, all three legacies.
