What is your take then? What would the argument be for giving someone who makes you money a little bump over someone who competes to take your money...

My take is AA pilots should do what APA says. And Republic pilots should do what their union says.

simple enough.

Fair enough, that is one of the best answers i've seen so far in this thread.

It really is that simple though. Take away emotion from fellow pilots. Trust me I have more bad taste in my mouth from APA than any republic pilot.

you want to treat one OAL differently than other OAL? No wonder the other carrier pilots are ticked. Keep the commercial interests off the Jumpseat, it’s a pilot benefit not a company benefit.

Own metal
Own company
OAL

its not difficult.
want the better Jumpseat priority, take the payout and go to a WO.

Republic has enacted this, so you're in agreement with them.

You are in agreement to what the RAH FOM changed to, no hostility required.

Then it should definitely be Own Metal and OAL for Everyone else.
That would be the most fair for EVERYONE right?
I mean if we are not going to bring in company benefit into the discussion, then why give priority to wholy owned? That is a company benefit right? One that you do not want to have...
(BTW... Before everyone shows up at my doorstep with pitchforks, I am not advocating this...)
