Care to say what is messed up here? I think it was a legitimate question and a source of some confusion among jumpseaters at our three airlines. Mainline has dictated to us that they have boarding prority over Mesaba on Pinnacle jumpseats thus creating an inconsistant jumpseat policy among the NW carriers.

Pinnacle jumpseat priority:

Pinnacle - class 4
Mainline NW - class 5
Mesaba, Alaska, and Hawaiian - class 6
All other reciprocal carriers - class 7
