As far as LGB closing I don't think that will happen (yes they are cutting 12 flights in September) personally I think they are going to minimize LGB flying and start up a base/Co-domicile in Ontario but that's just my opinion. We are slot restricted in LGB along with massive fines that just started for curfew violations ($6k each offense) and still no customs which are not leaving much room for expansion.
The LGB pilots do a lot of East coast flying especially starting it of LAX. We also do A LOT of red eyes. LGB August bids just saw the highest time bid divisors of all the bases. AVG line was 85hr with Max line value 90hr. I don't think the base is going anywhere. there is marginal expansion to BUR and ONT but I don't think any of the flying is done by LGB base. There won't be much growth in LA (LGB base) anytime soon until management figures out what to do with the LA basin.
