i would like to add to what fng320 said that a january 3 hire ( first class of 07) can hold LGB fo in the november bid, and there has not been as much attrition, hiring or upgrades since april or so 18 moths is looking more like it now. also reserve at JB is pathetic at best, so unless you drive to LGB is better to have a line in JFK and do the west to east coast commute than to be a reserve in LGB.
