Assuming you are talking about United, senior guys definitely can use all of their vacation in round one. Someone with 5 weeks total can use 3 weeks in a row, and 2 weeks in a row, in round one, as an example. If you’re talking about another airline, my apologies for the confusion.

Ok, same situation as OP, but I am moving to Long Island (pronounced Ston-Guylan), NY because family (smother-in-lahr. There, I said it). I am prepared to pay ALL the taxes, deal with the traffic, and all the other ancillary benefits associated with living in that little slice of paradise...
Is a 2 hour train ride from LI to EWR sustainable? Does anyone have experience with that commute? What about circumnavigating the city by auto? Or should I forego that adventure and fly DAL mostly out of LGA and JFK? I like both companies. I am mostly concerned with QOL (ironic, I know, moving to NY, but once again, it's for the family). From what I can gather as of now (prior to classing up), it seems like seniority prospects for me are better over the next 30 years at UAL. Thanks!

You can fly LGA at UAL. The NYC domicile covers EWR and LGA. 737 and 320 have trips in LGA.

As said above . There are some that live in Long Island and do the commute . I would say all of them drive . There is no special route that is better that others . Depends on time of day . Otherwise you can go via train but it’s a bit of a pain . Long Island to Jamaica station then Long Island RailRoad to Penn station then New Jersey transit to EWR airport . Doable but I wouldn’t say it’s done often .
Otherwise bid 737/320 and you can focus on LGA trips mostly , which many people don’t want , On the Airbus they tend to be much more efficient than EWR .
Or just wait till the Jetblue Merger and you can fly out of JFK. 🙄👌😬

UAL and DAL and Long Island
UAL: easy drive to LGA for narrow body or painful drive/bus/subway to EWR for NB and WB stuff
DAL: easy drive to LGA for NB or easy drive to JFK for NB/WB stuff. Sit reserve in your house for either LGA or JFK.

Silver (tin?) lining: if the people slotted above you had 7 years more longevity as well, they should be older (on average) and retire before you, so you might recoup some seniority later....
