And is the seniority during training based on age or SSN ?

It's based on age.

I currently get weekends off at my ULCC, but I commute. I’m a 2 hour drive from MDW. My wife is a school teacher, so weekends are the only extended time we get together… hence my questions.

1 consolidation line without weekends off.
2 months reserve without weekends off.
1 month of reserve with weekends off
2 months of blank likes without weekends off
2 hard line with weekends off
1 hard line with partial weekends off
I am PHX based if that helps. I really think it depends on the month and what's going on. If it helps, I was able to adjust all but the reserve schedules to more of what I wanted, albeit not with full weekends off every time. My guess is that after about a year or so here, in the right base you could hold weekends. You can certainly do it if you are willing to work reserve.
