None of our other affiliates have what Republic is asking for. In addition, nothing has changed per their memo. It even states, priority is by time of check in. That is how it's always been. AA pilots NEVER had priority on their jumpseat over OAL guys. Their memo, in the first part where it talks about "American Airways", is not correct and honestly looks like this was typed up in Gmail.

What they are asking is for gate agents to process the list out of order and accommodate D6 riders of which we cannot be listed as.

you shouldn't be that sure and just inform yourself, much easier than assuming.

Who cares, the point is they do not only exclusively fly for AA. Or any other carrier. If they get priority on all three, but we only get priority on our own branded flights, that also is not fair.

The way it should work is everyone gets priority on their own flying. Republic always gets priority on their own flying. Below that, if it's an AA coded flight, AA should have priority over an OAL.

An AA flight is OAL for Republic. Republic does not have their code attached to that flight therefore should not go above another offline guy.

They do not get priority on all 3. Again, again, just inform yourself before making assumption.

They are only asking that on AA and AA WO, they as you do on their metal, get JS priority on other airlines like B6, NK, SWA, like, until now, you did on their metal. Information is an amazing thing.

If they don't get priority on their other partners, then what they are asking for is an unreasonable request and is outside of industry norms.

AA has never had priority on Republic despite what that misinformed memo has stated. I went round and round with our jumpseat committee about this several years ago. It has always been first to check in at the gate.

However they are trying to process the list out of order and take all D6 listed first, and only then D1/D2, regardless of check in time. Since we can't list as a D6, that makes us last, which is worse than when you list on our flights.

It seems this change was not well thought out on their part.

Currently Republic gets equal priority with other offline airlines. Non wholly owned delta regionals also got equal offline priority with other offline carriers when it came to the jumpseat on delta mainline or wholly owned operated flights. AA actually gives Republic priority AHEAD of AA and eagle pilots for a Cabin seat on republic AA flights.

NOW, AA and Eagle pilots will go AFTER all offline pilots on republic eagle flight jumpseats. So AA and eagle pilots dont even get equal priority, they go last.

just so we are clear DL js priority is
1)DL by time of checkin
2)EDV by time of checkin
3)OO,YX,G7,CP by time of checkin
4)everyone else bt TOC
also at least at OO we get priority in the cabin of OO operated DL flights. what republic is asking for seems to mirror this priority.

Non wholly owned Delta Connection pilots get priority on Delta and Endeavor. We go after Delta/Endeavor pilots on Delta & Endeavor flights.

Is there a reason why you can’t list D6? my travel ID won’t let you?

Good luck with getting AA gate agents to do anything you say. The whole thing is stupid. It isnt republics fault but AA is paying for that flight and thus should get priority over OAL JSers. But hey, lets not let common sense enter into the equation and put the Delta guy in the JS on an American Eagle flight that American is paying for. Umm

Hmm, ok. It might have changed in the last few years. If so, than I am mistaken, and I apologize. Most other delta non-wholly owned went at equal priority on own metal, not ahead. I was not aware skywest had such an agreement to be given priority ahead of other s3's. I think at others it is s3 on own metal and in seniority order with all other delta employees and s3c off metal.
