Republic jumpseat prioirity in Airways system

I agree. But, is "code share partner" any airline regardless of what banner the aircraft is flying under?

When that change was originally made to the FOM it was intended to match the colors on the side of the airplane.

Priority within that segment would be on a FCFS basis.

Since Republic Airlines doesn't codeshare with Delta, a Delta pilot would always fall into the OAL category.

That was accurate as of 2011, and the verbiage hasn't changed except for the addition of ATC at the bottom of the list.

The airways express guy would have priority over Delta. You need to talk to your jumpseat committee.

Think our signals got crossed. Is this just for the republic cert? Republic (shuttle) flys for DL (correct?) and US/AA. The new Jumpseat policy says "code share partner." The example was a DL pilot got on a republic flight (he checked in first) in US/AA livery ahead of a mainline US/AA guy. Both AA and DL are "code share partners."

Apparently this happened last week. Just trying to figure it out.
 
Should've gone to the airways guy. If it was a shuttle america delta e170 it would go to a delta mainline guy first. Unless things have changed in the last 2 years.

Kingairer is correct. It applies to the codeshare partner of that certificate so AA/US Airways would be first for YX and DAL/UA would be first for S5. Also, the express carriers of that codeshare partner ride at the same level as the mainline pilot (Time of Check-In rules). Of course, the captain always has the right to refuse the jumpseat to someone which could change the order.

You know I've never understood that. I understand why the captain should have the right to deny the Jumpseat. That makes sense, but why would you deny the Jumpseat to someone authorized to use it. Is it a common occurance?

no, not common at all.

It isn't common but remember the jumpseat is a privilege extended at the discretion of the captain. Always remember to ask to ride in the jumpseat or in the back if there are open seats. I've seen guys kicked off for bad attitudes a few times. In the ALPA jumpseat guide, it does specifically state that union affiliation should be given due consideration. Also, if having a scab on your flight will raise your stress level, I could see how denying them is safety related as you don't need any undue distractions.
