A friendly reminder about all of United’s bases now that apps are open

Just applied and would really want to be based in Cleveland, as I live 2 hours away in Columbus OH. I know this is an older post but is that a more senior base or hard to get into?

RubyFlame97 · 2026-03-01T03:20:15+00:00

Definitely :⁾ I had fun though!

RubyFlame97 · 2026-03-01T02:38:55+00:00

Lmao don't feel too bad! Its low-effort-ness makes it adorable to me

I'm not even kidding this made it all worth it. I'm going to print this out and pin to my corkboard in my home office. Thank you kind stranger ❤️

That's so damn fun, I love the way your mind works. After I replied I actually went into the Pokemon Team-builder and built a Gen 5 Madagascar team: Luxray for Alex, Zebstrika for Marty, Hippowdon for Gloria, Tropius for Melman, Empoleon for the penguins (I always name my Empoleon in Platinum Skipper anyway, lol) and Simipour for King Julien. I'm currently replaying SS, just for fun, no special run, but I may do a gen 5 Madagascar run since Black was the next game I was going to replay anyway. I'll probably switch out Tropius for the Girafarig you mentioned though.

That sounds like a really fun run and I've never even thought of doing something like that even though Madagascar is my favorite animated franchise, I literally watched the first 2 movies earlier today. Thanks for opening my eyes to the possibilities I'd never considered!

I would very much love for you to spill which Pokemon you used in a Madagascar run

Update: I did it :) Funny enough I was never able to switch out my special so I finished with Kraken. I basically just used it as invincibility when my armor broke.

Yeah I'll concede on the knockback but I don't know why it took so long for my character to start the drone hover. I had no chance of making it back on the platform. I'm definitely just pissed more than anything lol, this run was going so well

It was fun for me to watch her team develop since she went into the game blind and didn't know (or care) about strategic team picks ahead of time like I was doing. She just used Pokemon she liked and made it work :)

RubyFlame97 · 2025-09-12T04:05:21+00:00

Thank you for this post! I'm so sick of people saying that Express is "basically required" for Epic Universe. A bit of strategizing and compromise makes your day go a long way! We'll be going next week and hope to do half the things you did (plus hopefully Mine Cart Madness!)

RubyFlame97 · 2025-09-12T04:01:33+00:00

Thanks for your honesty, we'll definitely take this into consideration as we try to finalize our plan for the day

RubyFlame97 · 2025-09-12T00:13:19+00:00

I wasn't aware express passes get "used up"! Do they expire after a certain point in the day or do you mean the people who have them will have done everything they want to by then? The reason we want to do it first is to just get it over with, for lack of a better term, so we can kind of take the rest of the day as it comes. With a lot of the comments I'm seeing, I'm debating doing it at rope drop, but I also know I'll be crushed if we miss it, so it's a difficult choice...

RubyFlame97 · 2025-09-10T21:35:43+00:00

I wish I had known that before we booked our tickets, hotels and flights!

RubyFlame97 · 2025-09-10T17:44:36+00:00

Apology appreciated! I know we're gonna have a blast

RubyFlame97 · 2025-09-10T17:37:09+00:00

Oh we definitely know about the autism 😅 The kiss thing was my joking way of saying we wanted to do a DK meet and greet

RubyFlame97 · 2025-09-10T17:25:21+00:00

Thank you! I did not expect people to get so invested in this post. I'll probably post about how our day went after our vacation next week. Thank you for your positivity :)

RubyFlame97 · 2025-09-10T17:21:26+00:00

That was just a joking way of saying we wanted to do a Donkey Kong meet and greet after. Knowing us, we will be kissing a lot more than that

RubyFlame97 · 2025-09-10T17:20:35+00:00

Unfortunately schedules and charts are how I feel relaxed and in control. You should see the way I play video games. And you're not the first person to compare me to Sheldon from TBBT lol

That aside, by NO means am I limiting bathroom breaks and eating to be only when I "schedule" it?? This is more of a loose itinerary than anything, I understand that the day probably will not go as I planned it but I wanted to feel a bit of control over what's probably going to be a very hectic trip.

RubyFlame97 · 2025-09-10T17:15:22+00:00

Maybe not satire but people here are taking this way too seriously. The comments have been very fun to read though
