1. Yes, but the rumor still exists. LAX does not fit well with our domestic scheduling "optimizer". However, can't deadhead to Pacific in one duty period from MEM or ANC.

2. New hires at LAX. No, but it is very junior.

3. MD-11s only.

4. Yes. Mostly pacific and west coast domestic. For first officers a lot of RFO (cruise pilot) flying.

5. We do have to stop sometime. Don't get the non-stop question. Don't see to many LAX-LAX flights. Operations: "Hey guys just fly up the coast for about an hour and then comeback, maybe do a quick drop in to SFO for a touch-and-go. We need the cargo back in LAX by midnight."

6. NOT A CHANCE
