There's a reason LAX is the junior base, the red-headed b@stard stepchild. There is no life south of Seattle.
Or maybe the people who live here know that 80% of the pilots who staff LAX commute meaning that the majority of pilots on RSV who commute would much rather fly than rot in a crashpad which allows the pilots who live in LA to more than likely sit at home and not work while on RSV.
We get it, you hate Alaska Airlines. Enough already.
