I'd assume that international routes would always get more senior crews. Maybe he knows someone? I don't think I've ever seen someone that young working mainline anyway.
There are many junior FAs who get to work on international flights especially during the summer when senior FAs take vacations and there is a lot of additional seasonal international flying, particularly out of a junior base like NYC.
Preferences are all over the place...there are many senior FAs who like to work domestic only (easier, less to do), many who like long trips with long layovers, and others who like to do "turns" (i.e., same-day roundtrips either domestic or international).
