I wonder how many of these things like the jumpseat issue, flight benefits, ect.. would have been fixed had nobody bid for the plane until they were settled? After we turned our cards on the ace we dealt SGU on the 700 and 900's and realized it was a joker, you would think people would've have been leery of agreeing to anything without having the details worked out first. Just remember, SGU doesn't give anything up until they have figured out how to take it away somewhere else.
The first question SGU will ask and what we should all be asking ourselves is "What are you willing to give up to get Delta benny's on the 175?" After all, we are just a regional. If we don't like it, we should just all go to mainline.

One month of denied jumpseats, with a 3x5 printed card explaining why would have this fixed toot suite. A few crew cancellations at mama D would have their attention and it would be fixed. But many want to work for mama D and are loathe to do anything but toadie up and "go along" to get on eventually.
The reason SGU doesn't want a jump seat war is because it is their decision. LH has decided to save some coin by not giving the E175 pilots flight bennys and our representation (and our pilot group) have sent the message that we are okay with that decision. Once we start flying the 175 for Delta, there is absolutely no reason that all E175 pilots shouldn't have the same benefits as the CRJ group. But just because it is the right thing to do doesn't mean that it will happen.

That works if you hold a line, but how are you going to stick to that when you upgrade to MSP RSV CA and they TDY you to ORD to do some Eagle flying, or SEA/PDX to do Alaska flying? Serious question, not trying to be a twit.

Not really practical. You could call in sick or fatigued a few times but you could not tell the MOD "I don't fly planes that I don't get bennies on".
They could and very possibly would fire you on the spot.

You are refusing to work for reasons that have nothing to do with safety or legality and is completely within the terms of your employment.
If you do this regularly, you are on a list and someday soon you WILL be fired and no one will be able to get you your job back.
Thus ends a potentially multi-million dollar career.
