people should realize that United is extremely seniority based in everything we do. Delta has the green slip thing where once you get a premium trip, the next one goes to the next senior person until everyone has a chance (if I understand correctly). At United, the same three people at the top of the seniority list can gobble up any premium that may happen to pop up (the company figured out how to drastically reduce premium pay at the end of Summer 2022).
every airline has its pluses and minuses. You just need to figure out what works for your situation.
