Expect upgrade times to go down for LAX base. Its going to be 400 pilots. Not a lot of commuters from the LA area. Also Hawaii lines do not seem like something to flight over. Yes there is decent growth over the next 2 years for airframes and expect SWA to pounce on twoish airlines when this recession hits.

Outburst?? What? What I said was pretty simply stated.
There is some growth over the next few years, but there is also a lot of replacing old airframes. The net growth isn’t near as much as some other airlines. I’m certainly not saying it’s a bad place to be, as it is my dream job, but I’m realistic. As to having 1000 pilots blow you, congratulations! The airline is also very overstaffed. Overstaffed does not equal growth.
