Once you get a line you can add/swap with open time to get up to 90 hours if you try. Trips are pretty efficient (6 hour credit days are typical), so you still end up with quite a bit of time off.
That's typical for SFO based pilots. Don't know about LAX. For some reason, all new hires go to SFO. That may change.
LAX,JFK and IAD are not bases they are virtual bases and they do nothing but hurt the pilot group with the digression of trips. until your pilot group realizes it you will be nothing more the me me me group.
Have your company man up and make them bases. They spend money on everything but what would help your group. You all need representation.
