This kind of backs up my point. This is on ccs and available to s-UAL pilots only...

Company Offered Leaves of Absence (COLA - ANP) October – November - December

We are accepting requests for October, November and December COLA for the following categories: 400 – All Bases; 777 – DCA, ORD, LAX, SFO, SEA; 767 – JFK, DCA, ORD, DEN, LAX, SFO, SEA; 320 – All Bases. Leaves will be limited and not all categories will have availability in all months. Thanksgiving holiday leaves will be very limited. Additionally, only full month leaves will be approved for the month of December.
Leaves will be granted for up to three months in seniority order by category. Leaves longer than 3 months will be considered on an individual basis, please contact your domicile for information.
The October flying month begins on September 29th and ends on October 29th. For pilots with inbound trips in the leave month, the leave will begin on the first day after the scheduled trip ends. Submit your request for COLA using DIS*41971. The deadlines for submitting a request is Noon (Central Time) Monday September 9, 2013.
We will continue to offer partial month leaves. However, if requesting less than a full month leave, the maximum number of blocks the leave can be split into is two and each block must contain a minimum of seven days. Example - If requesting a 14 day leave, the leave can contain one block of fourteen days, or two blocks of days with each block containing seven days. This restriction has been implemented to avoid granting weekend-only leaves to those who otherwise could not hold weekends off.
Future Awards or Training
COLA will not be awarded for the month(s) when qualification or re-qualification training is scheduled or may be scheduled. COLA will not be awarded for 2 month(s) following completion of training at a training center. COLA may be awarded for the month(s) preceding the training. A previously awarded recurrent training event will not be cancelled for any COLA request or award. COLA may be scheduled or re-scheduled around a previously scheduled recurrent training event. Recurrent training will not be awarded that will conflict with a previously awarded COLA period.
The company will continue to provide Medical/Dental/Vision benefits at active rates.
If you request and are awarded ANP that conflicts with a vacation (that has already been assigned) that vacation will be cancelled. The entire vacation period will be replaced with COLA. If you are awarded a vacation after COLA has been awarded, that vacation will replace the COLA on a day for day basis. If done in a timely manner prior to PBS awards, you may request the vacation be replaced with COLA by sending an email to [email protected]. Pilots on a leave of absence for a full Bid Period shall have his vacation accrual reduced by one-twelfth (1/12) for such full Bid Period.
These Leaves are unpaid. Please contact the pay desk at [email protected] if you have questions about your pay or the timing of your paychecks.
