There is supposed to be a website up and running tonight called
deniedjumpseat.com that will track all denials.

1 is an absolute non starter unless they are willing to provide the displaced pilot a seat in the back ( lets say they use this for an audit or something)
2 is not right either. my company has 179 planes flying for UAX and has continuously been operating as united express since the 90s, i can be bumped by a dispacher for air Wisconsin, an airline that has 60-70 planes and just started flying for UA a few years ago( for the 2nd time).
3) I have no problem with and honestly suprised it worked this way when I got hired here. on UAX flights it should be
1)Own metal
2)UAL
3)UAX
4)OAL
with that said I would also like to see UA have a cutoff time of 15 mins prior to D0 like DL (since so many talk about industry standard) so i cannot be pulled of the jumpseat at D-3 (by a pilot with a pos space on the next flight no less)

EDIT: it looks like UA is not even asking for elevated priority on OO or RAH JS which I would think to be the most reasonable request of them all. it will be only UAX exclusive carriers that will have this
I see where you are coming from with #1. But I have to ask, is this a hill worth dying on? #2 is just a wish, good luck telling United that you deserve anything on their on aircraft after these shenanigans. #3 Why do you care, you still go first.

So, is this a hill worth dying on?

having united dictate what OO priority will be was an absolute foul on UA's part. would you let another airline dictate that any representative that airline chooses can bump you off your JS? 2) No other airline places regional dispatchers above other regional pilots, this one will. also this will be the first JS list that places certain regionals that an airline has 0 ownership stake in above other regionals that also do the mainline partner's flying and is a violation of the status quo. 3 like I said, I think you should beat me out of any of the 7 other regional js that operate on behalf of UAL (assuming that is where you work) but this is not being discussed for now

This is the high point for SAPA and the Skywest pilots, it’s all downhill from here on out.
Oh I’m so sure you’re right, oh I wonder if we have any history with this issue. Maybe third times a charm, but I suspect this ends much worse for United ALPA. When you start websites to track names, well that makes it pretty personal. Of course most of us expected this lack of professionalism, I mean they did try to force a pilot group to sign a JS agreement through strong arming them.

It is VERY “personal” BOLO...
And OO’s “unprofessional” move to deny United pilots jumpseats on United Express flights, preventing us from getting to our bases to operate United flights and back home to our families is unconscionable...
And that is why we never want to share our United Airlines flight decks with any names on that list.

But people like you preventing other pilots, that have nothing to do with SAPA decision, that's cool and super professional, isn't it?. Because we don't have families to take care of.

Excuse me?... People like me preventing other pilots from what? I think you are confused about who instigated this blanket “jumpseat denial”. Are you possibly a Skywest guy that does not support this asinine move by SAPA? Is that what you mean by “other pilots that have nothing to do with SAPA decision”? If so, then I applaud you and welcome you to our flight deck. We are receiving many reports of OO pilots refusing this order from SAPA. And that is why the list is so important. I would, however, strongly recommend you encourage your SAPA reps to realize that cutting off United pilots from United Express jumpseats is not in your best interests.

So will the inevitable lawyers of the people who show up there. Let's just hope the domain owner has a lot of time and money to spare
