I know you've never had the responsibility of being a CA but all one needs to do is put on their big boy pants and take the walk and have a polite conversation with the gate agent. Most gate agents welcome help from CAs on determining on who gets the JS.

That may occur on a rare occurrence but I would be willing to bet that a significant amount of time most AA gate agents won't give a **** and will do what the CA says especially after the CA shows them the FOM.

Or it won’t, it all depends on the how much the Jumpseaters and gate agent want to escalate things. Most people don’t like conflict. It’s not AA’s Jumpseat Cujo.

AA management has directed the gate agents to refuse to issue 1Ws out of order. It will occur most times you try to play your little game.

Copied from another thread:
Talked to our union rep and…
fedex, jetblue, swa and others sent memos to our management asking us to not make an AAC FDJ. Additionally we are the only carrier who gives priority to RPA employees in the cabin of RPA operated flights. My rep stated that rpa wants priority on 100% of AAG flights yet is only offering priority on 30% of RPA flights. He also said UAL and DL are to going relook at the RPA priority.

UA gives Republic and the regionals whether wholly owned or not priority on their own metal when nonreving. DL also gives us priority but it's equal to DL employees and goes by Date of Hire.
What's the obsession of APA with nonrev benefits when talking about the JS?
DL, UA, AS already give priority to their regionals for the JS. Doesn't seem to be a problem for them. Considering nothing else in that statement is correct I would venture to say it is yet another lie from APA.

Some idiot from RPA tonight decided to hand one of our gate supervisors a piece of paper trying to direct them to ignore their WebRef directives and issue the 1W out of order. The document was filled with lies and claimed that we have the ability to list for D6UJ on myIDtravel. He threw it away and instructed all of his gate agents to ignore all request regarding the jumpseat from RPA pilots, and to not issue 1W’s out of priority. I really hope you idiots enjoy ****ing off every major airline when no one can get a 1W on your flights that FDJ AA or FDJ EAG are listed on.

I talked to a few yesterday and they had no idea what was going on. I think they may have been contracted agents though.

Republic does 50% AA flying.
UA gives Republic and the regionals whether wholly owned or not priority on their own metal when nonreving. DL also gives us priority but it's equal to DL employees and goes by Date of Hire.
