I know this thread is old but maybe there is still a UA FA out there who can answer my question:
I'm a FA for a foreign airline and am curious about how your scheduling works - I know that with low seniority you pretty much have no influence, but how often do new FAs score international trips? It's pretty rare, right? Do they get any intl trips from reserve?
How does this change when you're a speaker - do you only/mostly fly to that country or is it once again based on seniority where you might actually fly mostly domestic because more senior speakers are taking the trips to that country?
Thanks!
