You’re so out of touch dude🙄

Except the jumpseat. That's the Captain's discretion, unless you forgot about that already.

The entitlement mentality of rj pilots is bothersome. Why should any regional pilot get priority over any mainline pilot regardless of who’s plane it is?

Don’t like it? Shouldn’t have sold the scope... OUCH
If you were the CA of the operating airline and your choice of two jumpseaters was a guy from your company or some UA pilot who would you choose?

And maybe if Mainline pilots wouldn't have been so greedy and sold out all future pilots by being too good to fly the smaller jets at mainline, this wouldn't even have been a discussion.

The major partner owns the seats in the back, and I think they should allocate them accordingly (ie mainline priority).

But get real, the JS belongs to the guy flying the jet. If legacy pilots want RJ JS priority, we should force-integrate regional pilot groups into our respective lists.
