My best friend was holding a line with pretty good trips, and now he's third from the bottom on reserve. Any rumors of new flying coming to LAX? With that being said, I have no problem commuting if its for a short time (2-3 months). Otherwise, I'll just move to ORD. Also, are moots the pilots getting ORD, or MSP out of training? I am really low on my class seniority. Thanks!

The rumors I've heard is 18 planes for United (175s) 10 of which will go to LAX, I also wouldn't be overly surprised to see 175s for American. I believe we will get more flying out of LAX because even tho planes are leaving (9?) no one has said anything about displacing anyone, that's 100 odd people that need a new base, but nothing from company?
Rumors are rumors till planes show up in the base, make the best decision you can based on what you know right now, not what is speculated to happen
