I don’t work for United but spent years at a United Express carrier. I think 100% of my colleagues and I would have been happier flying that size airplane on the UAL certificate and seniority list rather than starting over at the bottom when we were lucky enough to finally get in at a major.

12 years wasted at a regional, like thousands of others. Every airplane under a brand should be flown by pilots at that company and on that seniority list.
