Does Express Jet have priority Jumpseat on Skywest?

[Turbojet]

Can any Skywest guys let me know if Express Jet has priority over OAL's on a United Express flight?

Thanks

Yes....Should go skyw pilots, skyw dispatchers, xjet pilots, xjet disp, ual/uax pilots, oal

Thanks. Does ASA go in as OAL since they fly Delta metal?

Nope, ASA (which is now all xjet) goes with xjet. Old ASA does a small amount of UAX flying as well.

Not sure what Asa/Xjt does, but Skywest has a UAX Jumpseat priority list for EVERY UAX carrier on the last page of every release. Has been useful (sometimes) when there is a question on priority.

Priority on SKW flights (as per a flight release)

1. SkyWest pilots DOH
2. SkW dispatch DOH
3. ASA/XJT pilots Time of Checkin
4. UAX pilots TOC
5. OAL pilots TOC
6. ASA/XJT dispatch TOC

Skywest has the same priority on XJT

Skywest has the same priority on XJT

Kind of. XJT is not based on DOH for the jump seat. Reservations and walk ups for those XJT pilots in the same category are first-come, first-serve.

And so does ASA and SkyWest. If you review the UAX priority card you will see that on XJT it is XJT Pilots, then ASA/SKYW TOC, same on SKYW, and same on ASA.

XJT and ASA are the same thing now.

This thread is about the Jumpseat, not non revving. The Jumpseat priority will be SkyWest, then Express Jet, then the rest....

I don't get it. Isn't Skywest second from the bottom on your list?

XJT pilots should be ahead of those useless disp, why are they even on there

Probably because the FAA still requires we ride along with you glorified Greyhound drivers for five hours every year.

I believe the L-XJT side has authorization to let a DX'er sit through sim sessions to satisfy the requirement. Sparing the oh so high and mighty DX'er the pain/agony/anguish of subjecting themselves to 5 hours of sharing the space with lowly "glorified greyhound drivers".

So what does that make you, glorified Greyhound driver dispatcher?

By the way, why didn't you reply yet to my post to you in the Big Meeting thread dealing with the Atkin family controlling shares?

It just makes me useless, apparently.

And they are the largest individual owners of company stock. My bad. Point is, they still call all the shots. They aren't kowtowing to the BOD. The BOD clearly knows that SkyWest Airlines is to remain a seperate entity and shielded from anything on the ASA/ExpressJet side. The sooner you come to accept this fact, the sooner you can move on and enjoy your job/life.

Enjoy life and my job, thank you very much. JA owns 4.5% and the other Atkin own less than 1%. There are other institutional owners who own just as much and more. Anyway, I don't think that it has as much to do with unions as some make it to be
