I dont care weather its your first year or your 30th, it doesnt entitle you to boss the other umpires around and insist working a pos. or decide to not umpire. I think my UIC should start assigning who works what.

Spoken like a true rookie. Yes, if a crew is working a series, they should rotate positions. But those positions are assigned based on seniority, even in the majors. If a 4 man crew is working one game, then it makes complete sense that the positions get picked via seniority.
Pay your dues, kid. You can't take the 6 items or less express lane to being a veteran umpire.
