I think you guys are arguing opposite sides of the same point. Hopefully everyone on property has this figured out.
The July 1, 2023 seniority list update will be pretty accurate because it won’t include the PVSL1/2 pilots. Last ones off those drop of April 1, 2023.
July 2, 2023 it won’t be accurate any more because 1 pilot retires that day.

My only point is DOH is a terrible metric for gauging when you’ll be able to hold a certain seat. Seniority percentage- which yes, is still wildly dependent on industry & airline conditions- is a better way to read the map so to speak.

No idea what you’re saying here. Did you mean WB FO you’ve got to put your time in? Bunkies can upgrade immediately?!
Are you applying previous airline experience to UA? Sounds like it. I too experienced another airline (hence my screen name) where the IROs/bunkies were senior and were paid more. Not the case here at UA! New hires that choose the WB will be bunkies for over a decade or until they upgrade. No thanks.

Being bunkie is not junior, being a RESERVE bunkie is junior. One of the best parts of international is the commutability. Many pilots commute up day of, fly night departure to Europe and return two days later just after lunch then commute home. Contrast that with 18 days on call for global reserve with no scheduled line in sight and living in a crash pad.

WB reserve living in base is possibly the best job at the airline. (3 trips in 8 months for me)

So they can only roll your day off RDO for an international trip and that would have to happen at the time of assignment. Example, you have Friday and sat on reserve and expect to get released at 1500 on Saturday. They assign you a 3 day Europe Friday - Sunday and restore the day off they took. That restoration will be on the next available day of reserve you had. Does that help?

he said 18 days on call because you are literally on reserve 18 days a month. RDOs are some of your days off, and then getting rolled could be an issue, but that’s not what he was talking about
