An old SQDN mate flies for UA and he works 13-14 days a month as a lineholder about 3 years of seniority, minimal weekends. I saw his schedule and it looked pretty good. Is American about the same? Are the travel benefits for the family about the same? American has the bigger network for sure but if you can't use it then what is the point?

Blessed to have this "problem"
United- greater ease of wide body International flying out of IAD with them vs having to commute to PHL or CLT for it.
