If someone wants to be a captain here, they need to be willing to give up a personal life until they have 10 years of seniority to hold the schedule they want in order to go to United.
Exactly, here you are locked in whatever you get. It’s not mainline where they can swap drop at will. Some guys are calling out once a month obviously too much.
