I'm curious if a number of mainline folks complained to UALPA enough that they haven't been able to get in on UAX jump from a different carrier check in times

Thread drift, amazing what SW can push for. When AA was still stuck in the stone age with that "your airline (regional) can't take me from NYC to London (ex) there fore you can't JS on us from NYC to London (ex)" mentality, SW was able to secure an intl JS agreement. But so was UPS.

Looks like the reason Skywest, Republic, and Mesa we’re not included in the non exclusive group is because they didn’t agree with the changes. If in the future any or all do agree they would move up to the non exclusive from the oal list.

Ok, I understand it. UAL to the top of every UAX flight with exception for UAX pilot on own metal.
If Mesa, Republic and Slywest don't agree to that then they can wallow around in OAL land on every flight except their own.

Exclusive UAX carrier, own carrier pilot, THEN us, then everyone else.
Non-exclusive UAX, own carrier pilot. Us and UAX are same priority, sorted by TOC. This can still cause issues.
