Doing the honorable thing at United gets you screwed.

Based on my look the junior ORD 73 FO line holder is 2013 hire. I'm mid '13 hire and 40 numbers junior.
Stop worrying about that stuff and just get hired. It's gonna get better fast. It might (probably) suck for a bit. Why are guys/gals trying to get hired so picky? "I want to get hired but only if I can get ORD lines quickly." Really? Fine. Stay at your regional.

Follow the contract, enforce and move on. This is a business transaction. The second that anyone hopes for more they've lost. United (read as any large business) just doesn't care. Modern merica. Warts and all.
Hence our long term "home" at the bottom of every airline quality ranking and operational metric.
