wintips.ual.com is available to all UAL employees. It has the jumpseat priority tables for all combinations of jumpseater and operating carrier. UX pilots should have their own reference through their employer.
On a non-exclusive UX carrier, own-metal pilots are first, of course. The rest of the UX and UA pilots are grouped together by time of check-in.

so I can be clear as mud:
That express carriers pilot are first in whatever order their company allows
Then United in order of check in time. Seniority is not a factor. (I know because I checked in before a senior dude and got the JS and he was ****ed. lol)
Not sure about other offline pilots but that’s something to check your company’s manual.

The Captain, with certain exceptions (FAA, line check, etc.) has the authority to accept or deny a pilot’s request to occupy the jumpseat. I didn’t see anyone mention disregarding policy. But if you arrive with the notion that you’re entitled a ride because of your employer, seniority, or check in time, I caution you to not share that notion with the Captain.
I took the response to that as “It’s the captain’s decision what the priority is.”
Maybe I just read too far into it. I absolutely agree with what you said.

You got me, it surely does. I’ve not taken it yet this trimester to be fair, and when I do, I try to do it open book.
to the guy talking about CA’s final authority, of course they have final authority and no one is disputing that. I think everyone is just trying to help a guy figure out how the rules work being off line. Generally the gate agent is an excellent resource to learn that stuff as they are the forward facing part of that process. Wingtips is their thing and it should jive with our FOM apparently.
