Maybe I was being too subtle. If you don’t have a UAL seniority number yet, I think most people would apply to multiple places and take the first place to get you on their rolls.

It seems that unless you are “under qualified” or have a really compelling domicile consideration that Aviate is just a way to keep you at a regional longer. 20-something person who is still building time and experiences is a different story and might get you in the door sooner.
