Under your proposal, AA pilots would get priority on less than, or about, 50% of RAH operated flights (AA flights operated by RAH). RAH pilots would get priority on 100% of AA flights. How in the world is that reciprocal?
Stop using the term reciprocal. You cannot offer us what you are demanding of us.

Because its not a RPA flight, it’s an American flight that you are contract to operate for American. When I book a reservation from PHL-PVD let’s say, I’m booking on my company’s network on our system. When it comes to the jumpseat, you guys obviously have the priority there, but not a chance that an offline guy goes ahead of an AA guy on an American Eagle flight. That’s what you guys just don’t seem to understand. And if you think your Captains jumpseat ownership that you guys keep talking about is going to dictate priority in the American Airlines network, you’re delusional. You can change your FOM all day long, it doesn’t dictate anything to AA. you start turning away AA guys for offline pilots on AA flights, it’s going to escalate very quickly.

You do not get to dictate that. The cockpit is 100% RPA.

How? Are you going to lower our JS priority too? ....ohh wait

The question was how it's reciprocal that the pilots from one those airlines have priority on half of the flights from the other, in exchange for no priority on any of the flights the other way around. And it has not been answered.

Who’s Jumpseat is Republic’s Jumpseat? If it belongs to Republic it sounds like everything you said doesn’t matter. The FOM is legally binding document NOT the AA reservation system. I know you’re smarter than this.

This keeps getting brought up, but I'm not following what it has to do with the issue. AA contracts a flight to another airline (with defenders of the policy being careful to emphasize that it's an OAL) OK, then what? What does it have to do with jumpseat priority?

If you guys truly had such a hard on for reciprocal, you’d be asking for priority on half our flights. So drop the act, it’s not reciprocity that you’re after. It’s priority on every major carrier. And it stems from the fact that you guys have always thought you’re the all important regional, a cut above the rest, in some limbo between mainline and regional. It’s kinda funny
Sorry it’s hard for you to believe some of us have principle, you just have entitlement.
