Sure if that's what you petty little snowflakes want to do. Give them priority. We'll still be OAL on each other. As long as our agreement is reciprocal it's all good

And to answer your Gate Agent question. I only had have great experiences. Always exit row in the back even if I checked in last. They treat us nice as D2 FDJ (EAGLE) guys.

Even went above and beyond to get my blazer before when I forgot it on board. I do enjoy my AA experience so far.

That's not a bad idea. That way this deal would be reciprocal. Create a RAH FDJ with priority just under D6UJ. That way it would be even, given that we can't list the way they want us without asking a gate agent to violate AA travel policy, effectively meaning we are behind D6 on them.

Before you start creaming your pants at the idea of punishing us with a sub category you might want to look at which carriers Mesa and SkyWest fly for. We can also reciprocate and put you below everyone. Better yet why don't you go ahead and cancel the JS Agreement and show the world all your arguments are bull****

Sounds like you are new to the industry. I would also say outside of the AAG umbrella most people view your agents differently

We can continue all the way down since their UA or DL routes together make more money than AA. That should mean Spirit, Frontier, Alaska and JetBlue should be above Republic since they all are either adding to AA (Alaska and JetBlue) or not affecting our routes (we don't compete with Spirit or Frontier)?

That's

Absolutely, and I'd never expect anything different - you gotta do what you gotta do. Appreciate the post. I agree that most of us (AA) probably don't have much clue about the backstory of all this. If I didn't happen to be dorky enough to dabble in message boards the only thing I'd have to go on are two e-mails from the APA.

You're a funny kid. You get upset for receiving equal priority. You aren't entitled to your D2 FDJ in a YX JS. You are OAL just like you love to point out. Welcome aboard. Make sure you let the agent know you're there so they can note the time for check in for the JS if they're unwilling to switch you to a D6 listing.

Wait... if its an honor system no problem. I'm good friends with the Gate Agents with both ends of my commute. They'll just tell you puppet I was here 10 years ago and you have to accept it. Good Stuff...

Either way, don't you guys think it's sad you push for this during a pandemic? With hundreds of pilots out on the streets? I'd rather wish we would all push for 1% of our income distributed to those.

What’s really sad is AA union stirring the pot with a bunch of false info and ridiculous hype.
