There was a status quo that benefitted only AAG and Republic decided that it needed to be equal, which is a wholely reasonable position to take. We attempted to work with AAG to reach a mutually beneficial solution and negate any impact to your pilots. AAG decided, because reasons, to decline it, and now you're suffering the consequences of that choice.
Easy to say we had a temper tantrum from your perspective where you benefitted from an unequal agreement and never even had to think about how the other party to the agreement was being impacted.
It's astounding to me how people can actually defend this agreement and then take the position that Republic is in the wrong for pursuing equal treatment.
From my perspective it's some select AAG people that are throwing a temper tantrum because the little guy deigns to not just accept an unequal status quo and did what they had to do to fix it.

Saying it's irrelevant which party it benefitted is some tyrannical nonsense. I sure hope you're never in a situation where the roles are reversed and you're being treated less than equitably.
It's astounding how self-centered some pilots can be. All complaining, no constructive solutions.

A status quo was established that wasn't remotely equitable and Republic changed it after pursuing an alternative that wouldn't affect any AAG pilots.
So what would you have done differently? Be specific.
Or would you just say we should continue to accept something that isn't fair to our pilots?

No, we decided to change it within the constraints of what is allowed by the agreement. We're not breaking anything.

JetBlue and Alaska fly passengers that purchased tickets on the AA website due to our awesome new codeshares. Should they get priority too? If not why? Because the paint on the airplane doesn’t say AA? They are doing the same thing RAH is…….flying PAX that bought tickets on the AA website.
The first time an AA pilot gets left behind on an eagle flight because a delta pilot checked in first this whole thing is going to go south for you all.

Again, so what?

I believe an equitable solution would be to fix the AAC v D6 issue. That is a problem that should not exist. You would get de facto priority due to being able to check in earlier.
If your paycheck doesn’t come from AA money you are OAL. Period.

The JetBlue/Alaska argument is silly because you are OAL on them as they are to you. So if we are going to be pooled in with them, which I personally believe is different, then you should be OAL on us.

Should we also give and get priority with oneworld partners? How far can we go?
