We've had new hires flying across the pond for over a decade and this is prob the worst story. We once had a DC-10 Capt who got a report of metorie activity from Gander. This prompted him to alarmingly request 19K for the crossing despite the obvious burn issues. He said it necessary for metorite avoidance.

A-320 New Hire out of LAX
How long do ya'll think it'd take someone hired in 2018 to hold A-320 out of LAX.
Once in LAX, what would the QOL be like for the first 4 years (# of days off/ability to choose what days off you had).
Thank you in advance!

It will be 737 and we are still getting about 150 more of them over the next 6 years. 700s, 900s, and MAX.

If you didn't get it out of training, you'd probably be able to bid into it within 3 to 6 months (assuming you didn't get the guppy out of training).
Currently, seniority is definitely better on the guppy in lax, as that's where the growth is at the moment. The bus has been stagnant/shrinking in lax for the past 1.5 years. If things stayed as they are now, you could probably hold a line within about a year to 18 months, and probably working weekends in that same time. Bidding reserve at the 18 month point, you'd probably get at least some of the weekend days off. If we end up buying some more buses, then all of the above would drastically change.
