And giving up 18 days off for an additional 15 hours of pay doesn't sound like a good trade-off to me.

Or you could find something else to do in those days off that also earns money, and lets you be with your family at night. You might even find you can make even more money.

I realize some guys are running their finances pretty right, but United Airlines isn't the only way in the world to make money.

After all we are all (98%) college grads....
