Colgan Jumpseat Policy

[EWR_FO]

Can someone tell me what the boarding priority is for the Colgan jumpseat? After Colgan guys is it first come-first served, regional first, CAL first, or some other combination? I have heard several different things, any help is appreciated, thanks.

Sent you a PM with a few added details.

Technically, in our FOM our jumpseat policy is Colgan guys first, then everyone else in a first come first serve priority.

However, for our Continental flights it is Colgan guys first, then those who fly for Continental or a Continental Express/Connection carrier second in a first come first serve basis, then everyone else.

We have had a read and sign that addresses this so it should not be a problem.

I want to add that the above is most likely true for our codeshares but at the discretion of the Captain. For example if you are an Air Willy or PDT guy out of LGA flying for Airways, you should get priority over an American guy. Not technically in our FOM but I would say 99% of Captains would give decision to fellow code share flying pilots the jumpseat first.

Furthermore, I would give a Pinnacle pilot first dibs right after a Colgan guy, then fellow codeshare pilots etc.... The checks are showing a Memphis address!
