^^^ Your percentage today will not be your percentage tomorrow.

As of now LAX 320 AND 737 are fairly junior. I suspect that to change drastically. I expect both to go much more senior. Many PHX folks want LAX. Many East (junior and senior pilots) want LAX. That means all the junior folks already there will stagnate as openings will be filled with more senior pilots. I highly doubt LAX will be getting assigned to new hirer pilots as it has been lately, even with the growth. Add to that that many also want PHX as well. I know of 5, yes 5, senior LAX Bus pilots that want PHX. Add to that all the pilots from LUS that want at west base. And don't forget....PHX is already slated to shirk. Meaning all those displaced will choose were they want to go....many will pick LAX for lifestyle reasons.

I'd say within a year or so, LAX be much more senior, even on narrow bodies, then it is today. I also think PHX will get even more senior then it is now.
