I'm not sure what the bottom seniority number is at LAX, but my hire date is July, 2000 and I'm 130/145 for the 767 FO position. I imagine that we will see movement in the catagory later this year (just my personal guess). The C level execs say were developing our feed so that we can eventually turn LAX into an international base. Currently we have outsourced much of this flying to Executive Jet (? not the Fractional Guys) and the EMB-145 to help developing these routes. Once these routes are developed, I can see more narrow body flying at LAX. Long story short, most of the pilot group sees a bright future for the base. The good news for guys that want to be in SoCal is that because of the cost of housing, not many guys are going to pick their families up from ATL and move to SoCal. I don't consider it commutable, but we'll have a few guys make the commute to hold a junior captain seat if we do eventually get some norrow-body flying. The word is that 2008 is the year for LAX. FWIW!
