I live 30 minutes from Newark. Is reserve so bad that it even sucks living close to the airport? I actually don't mind things like airport standby. It gets me out of the apartment, I can do stuff on my laptop, walk around the terminal enjoying my Starbucks, etc.
Can reserve days be dropped or swapped? Can reserves pick up on days off? Is there an official system for proffering trips in open time?
I came to UAL from probably the same airline you’re currently at. I also live in a junior UAL hub. I had a line here before I was done with OE. 9 months in and I have weekends and holidays off. Reserve won’t be bad at all for you as you live in base. The water is warm. Welcome!
