I have put this in any contract survey. And yet never see it. Super seniority was never envisioned for all.
Its not super seniority. It's just seniority... and the best thing is... it's locked in for another contract cycle. Using seniority to get a 70ish hour PBS summer schedule with trips that are easy to drop, puts you in a position to catch all the premo trips your seniority can hold!!! My record is 5 premos in one month. I still get aced out, as I only have 25 years here. Plenty of wolves ahead of me. WTF would we want to change this? Get some seniority and enjoy 42 days vacation, a big-O sick leave balance, and yes, all the back to back summer premo you can hold!! Seniority is beautiful. Seniority works. And here at United Airlines, Seniority is our reality.
