Thats fair. I use AA non-rev benefits quite often, and figured out the system pretty well. I only non-rev to off season destinations, and it's worked out pretty well so far. I'd definitely still follow that routine at United too. I was just wondering how much harder it is to get on compared to how it is with AA's check in time policy. There is always a chance of roll overs, and RV standbys popping up, but at least with AA's program, in general I feel like i have a pretty good idea or not whether i'm getting a seat by the time i get to the airport. But United is my end goal, so i was curious how it works here.
seniority is king at United for pretty much everything… the key to success as a junior pilot non revving is picking first flight of the day, don’t fly on Fri/Sun, and never over a big holiday and/or summer… rest of the time internationally you’ll get Polaris FC or Premium plus…
