If the option is to stay at your post and not select a vacation, I'd be leaving the gate, too.
I worked for two different police departments that gave you 10 minute windows to select your vacation on a certain day. If you missed your window, the whole process did not stop for you and you went to the bottom of the list. Sounds like UA is handling it in a very similar way.
Maybe one of the UA employees here can share the consequences when you miss your vacation selection time.
