You can call the union if you want, but a better call will be the Duty Chief Pilot in IOC. They’ll have you A1 if it’s an issue.

Maybe #itstime that AA’s union stop putting out memos of complete misinformation.

Have you ever tried commuting out of DAY instead? I know it’s a drive but it’s on a wholly owned. This could obviously get very ugly and soon (basically as soon as an AA pilot is bumped from an Eagle flight) so you may need to use an alternative for commuting for awhile.

If only APA put this much effort into stopping the furloughs…

Did your union communicate this to your group? If so you deserve much better representatives. We operate AA flights for AA. AA policies dictate how the seats in the back are treated. As they are with every regional airline flying for a partner. I often sit in coach on deadheads on my own metal while being moved to fly a flight for you while some wholly owned people are non-revving in first class. I don't get irritated by it. It's just the game. It's interesting your union would communicate such lies to your group if in fact true and from your union. I wonder what their agenda is if so. The only say I have as a Republic captain is whether or not a person is behaving well enough to travel with others and remove them if not. We have no control over non-rev priority in the cabin. Which captain anywhere does?

Indeed. I'm not quite sure exactly what Teamsters (by the way, when did Teamsters have a reputable history with Airlines?) hopes to gain by pushing for equal check-in time. What I think RPA's union leadership forgets is that the jumpseat on their aircraft may be there's the flight is not. The flight belongs to AAG. The only reason an Eagle flight pushes back is due to AAG cutting RPA a check. RPA own's no flight that AAG operates. The relationship isnt mutual, it's not equal, and RPA should have no reasonable expectation of getting online benefits. If the pilots of RPA want D6 Travel Planner Check-in, I hear the Wholly Owned's are ramping up hiring.
RPA provides a service to AAG that Doug pays for. It's a monodirectional relationship that, as it turns out, OO and YV are just fine with. Given that AAG spent the last several years eliminating AX, ZW, CP, and EV, it's a ballsy move to push for a not-industry-standard relationship with your largest benefactor.
I genuinely hope this does not hurt the pilots of YX. It seems like a risky move to pull at this time in history. YV still has a large amount of excess capacity sitting in storage, and god knows they're cheaper...

You are so misguided and lost it is pathetic.

We are not pushing for equal check in time.

APA walked away from the table when AA management, Republic management, YX union all had agreed on the bump in priority BELOW EVERY SINGLE AAG pilot and only ahead of OAL.

Due to APA's choice we are now OAL time of check in on each other. Welcome aboard. Make sure you let the gate agent know when you arrived at the gate so that another OAL doesn't beat you to the JS. You'll get the hang of it.

Finally, your claim that we are pursuing a Not industry standard relationship is an absolute lie as it is the same exact arrangement that DL and UA have with all their regionals.

Let me know if you need help logging in to myidtravel. You’re gonna need it starting tomorrow.

Won't have to - the gate agent is going to issue the 1W to me regardless since I'll be a D2 or D1. So unless you hang out in the gate area the entire time to orchestrate everything, you'll have to refuse me the j/s once I'm at the flight deck, then go up to the gate area to have the agent reissue the 1W to the OAL guy.

You guys don't seem to be getting this - we *cannot* list on AA branded flights via myIDTravel. Full stop. The only thing we can do is list via Jetnet as a D2 or D1.
