The quick-upgrade-for-the-money argument has to completely ignore both QOL and the benefits of lineholder FO seniority on earnings, especially when considering WB FO vs junior reserve NB CA.

I’m not trying to dissuade anyone from coming to UA, but coming to UA based on the opportunity to snag a quick upgrade in a historically senior base is setting up for disappointment. Maybe this environment still exists next year, but also, perhaps upgrade goes more senior and DEN gets more senior over the next year.
