Yes, but it changes with the schedule. I live in northern San Diego county and would fly primarily our of SNA until about 18 months ago when the 73N stopped flying out of SNA.
DAL has not flown out of Burbank in years. ONT has pretty much dried up also - the 737 will rarely get an ONT trip, for the last 18 months the 737 has been almost exclusively LAX.
The 757 now has a bunch of SNA flying, not sure if they are doing much ONT, but I doubt it.
If you come out to LAX on the 757/767 it may take a while until you hold SNA but with PBS the bid package can change on a dime. I used to fly the 757 but bid down to the 737 for better seniority - now the 737 has no SNA and the 757 does. Oh well.
Welcome aboard!
