"Pot meet kettle".....All points made were founded in your scribe.

LAX: CAL used to do it's hiring/training in LA. There were both Pilot & FA bases in full swing there. As evidence, and as recent as the last couple years (around MAD), CAL owned several buildings/facilities on the West side from that time frame. Prior to CAL's Houston HQ's, where was CAL's "Ivory Tower"? Hint-Los Angeles.

With Denver being a former base, I guess that the 'original' DEN (Stapleton) is outside your historical cuff. There was a sizable L-CAL base that once resided in Denver, look into it.

As far as your justification & reasoning regarding those who are based/established within certain bases that you cite, it seems germane to both groups when looking at past bases common with L-CAL. I agree with the point made earlier in the thread.....If this was something of such concern during the interim......why wasn't it written into one of the many LOA's residing within our "Industry Leading" JCBA??
