Do they have a lot of reserve in LA or would I just be flying? Last, as a skywest pilot, do you operate for United, Delta and Alaska, or just one of them, and if it's just one of them, do you get any say on which one? Thanks in advance for any info. Reading these threads has been really helpful.
Unfortunately, LAX is currently shrinking as the Eagle flying gets shifted to PHX. It might be a little while before you'd be able to hold LA. With that said if LAX is your top priority I'd look at Compass over SkyWest since LA is their most junior base.
