Exactly! Still waiting for final language. Not ready to claim mission compete while standing on a carrier.

And what was the result of that “bankruptcy” again?

I’m sure you have heard this before, but don’t blame yourself for not getting hired at UAL. A lot of good pilots don’t get the job. Don’t get so worked up over this. Instead, focus on the positive and keep your apps updated at all the majors and LCC’s. With a positive attitude you will succeed!

“Today an agreement in principle was reached that will put an end to the current acrimony regarding the jump seat on United and United Express Carriers. Although it is not generally common practice to publish signed jump seat agreements with individual carriers, due to this very public dispute, we will do so as soon as a final agreement is in place. The Local 357 Executive Board and Jump Seat Committee would like to thank you once again for your support and solidarity during this process.
Below is a very brief outline of the priority tables that will be used to determine flight deck access for each of the Carriers. Knowing that much like when a TA is announced and everyone skips ahead to compensation tables, I encourage you to return here after peeking below for a more fulsome explanation of how we came to this agreement.
The complexities of this negotiation cannot be understated. Nine Carriers and their management teams are either directly, or tangentially affected by this agreement. I’m proud to say that Local 357 and SAPA, with the support of Republic and SkyWest Management took the strongest stand against what had first been offered, and then when we refused to be a party to it, was unilaterally imposed on us. We would like to thank the MAG-MEC (Mesa) for joining us to the extent that they could, limited by their membership in ALPA.
This final agreement closely mirrors the priority we have in place within the Delta system, and what we
expect to be the case shortly with American. We say closely because of the unique relationship United
has with some of its partners in lieu of the wholly-owned structure at American and Delta. Prior to
October 15th, in all previous iterations passed to us we were required to allow UAL pilots either first
priority over all other UAX Carriers, or to be relegated to a status on par with all other airlines (OAL
category). This agreement does not allow that. At the end of the day our unwavering stance was that
we would not be party to an agreement that removed our ability to set the priority on OUR aircraft. If
other carriers are willing to concede that priority they have as much right to do so as our right to firmly
say no. The priority tables below will show that the “UAX-Exclusive” Carriers have chosen to do so. It is
unfortunate that we will never know if that would have been the case if they had chosen to proudly
stand with us. For clarification UAX-Exclusive Carriers are those who have within their CPA the ability to
only fly for United. These Carriers are ExpressJet, CommutAir, TSA and Air Wisconsin. Republic is
considered a Non-Exclusive UAX Carrier, along with SkyWest, Mesa and GoJets. In this agreement,
United and its Exclusive-UAX Carriers are treated in the same manner that (Delta/Endeavor) and
(American/Piedmont/PSA/Envoy) are treated within their respective systems. While we don’t
necessarily believe that Exclusive-UAX Carriers should be afforded the same classification as wholly-
owned Carriers, this is a concession we needed to make to align all our codeshare relationships with
respect to jump seat priority. Typical with any negotiation, both sides had to move closer to a middle
ground. Our partners at SkyWest and Mesa agree, especially considering that American has committed
to moving not just Republic, but all non wholly-owned Carriers flying their brand into a new tier above
OAL to align with Delta. It is also important to note that the tier we are in consists of approximately
60% of all UAX flights.
We have received confirmation from UAL/UALPA that no management action will be taken against our pilot group or anyone who participated. As stated before, this was simply a bullying tactic employed by a select few.
Effectively immediately we will welcome our guests from UAL and UAX in the following priority order on our aircraft, and can be expected to be accommodated on their aircraft as follows:

FWIW, if either DAL or UAL terminate their agreement with Skywest they have the contractural right to force Skywest to sell them the associated assets. (source: Skywest 2018 Annual Report)

I didn't bother looking up Republic, but presume it's similar.

There is no advantage to a major airline maintaining several express/connection carriers unless they can play them off each other.

Which is pretty much the whole point, btw.

That’s was never in the original jumpseat priorities. That ultimately got signed today.

You just proved my point. Things can turn around quickly in this industry, especially if a mainline partner wants to make a substantial investment. Enjoy your time at Republic.

JoePatroni

Wrong. You can refer to post #15 in this thread to refresh your memory.

Burt123

AA/DL/UA each own a percentage of YX, so no it’s not similar. I don’t think one legacy would give one of their competitors an advantage.

Burt123

That WAS in the original agreement that was forced upon. Here we are again, someone is lying. It’s either ALPA or it’s THREE (IBT/SAPA/MESA) representations combined... you believe whichever end you want, but the jury would side with the party of 3 vs 1.
