I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that, for at least the last several years during this wave, United has been the place to be. The flying opportunities and growth speak for themselves.

However, with some not-so-glamorous work rules (global reserve), I am genuinely curious as to whether these rules significantly affect quality of life. So, how is life as a reserve? How is it as a line holder?

I know some of this is subject to change if/when there is a new contract, but I appreciate any input.
