UAL Vacation Pass -own metal issues
I'm a Mesa CA. I guess mainline United FAs using vacation passes have priority over Mesa FAs even on Mesa aircraft. I greatly disagree with this policy. Does anyone here that operates UAX flights know how to get your company's employees on ahead of the UAL vacation pass holders? Does anyone have access to the UAL guidelines for using vacation passes? Are there situations that vacation passes are not allowed to be used? I guess I'm looking for the most effective way to undermine this policy without having to revert to the stubborn toddler approach and refuse to move the airplane until my co-workers are on board. So, please share your success stories in overcoming this policy...or convince me it's not a fight I can win so I can slowly learn to tolerate it.

Yep. They all have my number. I went to college, have lots of flight time and a bunch of cool stuff on my resume.
I have a brief existential crisis everyday after I wake up and remember I work for Mesa. But, I do work for Mesa, and I'm trying to look out for the people I work with.

Hey, vacation passes suck, but the best thing you can do and should be encouraged to do (IMO) is keep them honest. Report the gate agent and pass rider if they illegally change from regular pass to vacation pass within x minutes prior to departure or if the gate allows the person to remove the vacation pass after they realize they didn't need to burn a vacation pass.
Screen shots. Their game, their rules, keep them to it.
I can't remember if "x" minutes is 30 prior or not. I haven't had to reference the language due to shenanigans for 2 years.
