The reason is that there are a ton of military guys who have already establish themselves in this area prior to getting hired by DAL.

With North Island, Miramar, March ARB, Pt Mugu NAS, Edwards AFB etc there are plenty of guys to feed the LAX base.

Now do these guys want to stay here for there whole careers retire and pay CA state income tax in retirement? That is a whole different question.

PS - Still covering three airports but ONT trips are very very rare. Mostly LAX with some SNA for ER guys only.
