Are there still a bunch of SkyWest flights between SBA and LAX, or did that go away with the Bro?
How is seniority determined for a new hire class? By age?
Lastly, and just purely out of curiosity, when did they drop SBA as a crew base? (I used to throw bags for SkyWest at SBA, circa 2005-2007)
They haven't transferred anyone into LAX since around April, which is the same time they announced the American Eagle flying was going away and those airplanes were being transferred to PHX. ( and the PHX airplanes were getting parked). Quick math would say the domicile is overstaffed by 40+ crews, but things change. The American stuff is suppose to start winding down over the next 3-4 months.
I believe they closed the domicile in SBA around 09-10. There use to be plenty of commuters from SBA and SAN into LAX. I presume there still are.
Rumors of growth on the United side in LAX have been posted here lately.
