Won't take long... LAX and particularly SFO usually go quite junior with unfilled FO bids on the 737 and A320. You just need there to be bids, which these days are almost every month except during the summer.

One dynamic that's changed with the CAL/UAL merger (for LUAL pilots) is that EWR is now the most junior base in the system and will likely be the most junior for a very, very long time. UAL had a small NYC base which went senior - now that EWR is a large domicile, combined with a large DCA domicile - the east coast (EWR, DCA) will likely have the most junior bases in the system for the foreseeable future.
SFO will be the most junior base west of the Mississippi, so if you're junior, plan on that being your first base in the west. Then just keep a standing bid for LAX if that's where you want to be based and with current movement, you should get it before you're off of probation.

Ok, I guess it's time for a lecture on how we need to wear those silly little ALPA wings that you clowns think are so precious. Unified pilot group? Not in my lifetime as long as crap like this is the prevalent thought from your legacy group.

I am sorry you feel the way you do I hope it changes, we have to work in this industry for a long time and we need all UAL pilots to come together. Wearing the pin also shows the unity to management, I hope over time you will believe in the power of unity.

I'll agree that SFO goes junior, but not so much with LAX.
