Thank you sir! This wouldn't be a downside for me as I wouldn't mind living near either of those satellite domiciles too!

IS the culture and work enviornmenet any better at AA yet? Or is there still a food fight going on?

I thought what clint posted implied that. I have no idea the size of classes of AA these days, just seemed like a large number is all.

New hires are getting LAX but MIA, in general, is still the junior base.

But junior CA's are about the same seniority in LAX, MIA, LGA.

Alaska/Virgin both have a LAX base.

Same thing I was thinking while dozing in the western Caribbean this afternoon at FL320, until the guy with the Alaska call sign woke me up.

"WT-F is that dude doing in our playpen?", followed by more dozing.
