It's based on a very complex synthesis of dart board, Ouija board, roulette wheel and the throwing of the bones of a hairless kitten. Only a few who have been to the mountaintop high above Virginia Avenue have actually been allowed to see just how these various devices are used, and at precisely which intervals. I'm sure newK is one who has been given access....but I've never met anyone else who lived to tell the secret.

Here's a dot for you dot connectors... While waiting to push from the west side of D terminal in LGA a few days ago, the jet next to me is pushing and asks for engine start clearance from the ramp tower. Ramp guy says, "go ahead and you don't need to ask next time." The pilot calls back and says "ok, but the green page says I have to ask", to which the ramp tower replies, "oh yeah, they added that in there for when we start pushing guys tail to tail from the terminal behind you" (which is the current USAir terminal).

I believe it's ASA. I don't think Alaska can nonrev on us, except on an ID90/Zed.
If it's ASA, then yes, they travel as a higher priority on an ASA/Skywest flight. They would be S3 and we would be S3C. On other Connection carriers, they travel as S3C while we travel S3.
When priority levels were standardized among all the Connection carriers a few years ago, it included a exemption for ASA/Skywest, where their employees get higher priority on their own equipment. It's the only time when we (DL mainline) travel as an S3C instead of S3.
