Its not seniority based its just about whats available at the time.

Another example is this. I wanted the beginning of march off and the end of it off. I bid min credit so got around 73 hrs and the first week is off in march and the last week of march is off with everything else crammed in the middle.

The allure of UA at the moment is not for widebodys and its not for the pay. I can say for sure this group enjoys living life and not just work work work. The thing about UA or Delta etc is stability in bases and frankly who knows whats gonna happen with the b6/nk merger and that JCBA to come.

I myself woud love to see people speaking about this more on the UA forums but unfortunately it doesnt seem to be the case.
