Things may have changes in the last 30 years but it used to be that if you left United on a leave of absence, and returned in under 4 years (even if in a different position), you maintained your seniority for pass travel. And you got to bid 1st in your new hire pilot class, regardless of your SS#. If you were gone for over 4 years, you only got your old file# back.

I’m only referring to other positions within the company. Not taking a LOA from let’s say a gate agent to become a pilot later on. Yes, if you take a LOA in accordance with the UPA, which applies only to pilots you retain your seniority. The other poster claiming you keep non-rev seniority and vacation is not correct.

Who cares? They are likely a lot older than many new hire FOs as they wasted years in some mundane job here for lower pay. Let them have some vacation seniority or pass travel seniority. The jumpseat will always go by pilot seniority.
