Fine, call it what you will, but I agree with it.


I understand it's United's seats to sell but it"s still SkyWest metal and the employee should come before a pass rider.

At least you go before all UAL employees on vacation passes who were hired at UAL after you were hired at OO, so there's that.

My understanding is that UA VACA pass riders trump SkyWest non revs on all UA Express flights. I've never heard of company to company hire date priorities?



But I could have it all wrong?


As an earlier poster stated, I've been buying tickets if I really need to travel, non reving is to risky.

You are close. You are always an SA0 on OO flights. UAL employees on vac passes are also SA0. You are correct that it seems this way because so many at UAL were hired a while ago. I was hired at UAL in 2018. If you were hired at OO prior to 2018, then my vacation pass can't bump you down. UAL Vac passes just move a UAL employee to your SA0 level and then it is sorted by date of hire at the respective company. Not sure how it would work if there was a tie. Maybe time of checkin?

I love that you've been in the game for a few months and think that you have all the answers.

I love that you throw these snarky comments but have no factual arguments to back them up.

For AA/WO guys, AA travel benefits are tough to use. For others, they are worse.
You got an argument about this? Or?
