Any general advice regarding those two domiciles?
Thanks for the info - totally excited about Delta.

Booser,
I can't answer all of the questions, but as a newhire about to start 737 training on my way to LAX I can tell you that the 73 Only flies out of LAX and does not cover SNA or ONT like the 757/767... i.e. it only covers one base. The 73 is just starting up there. The March bid had only 22 people on it, 5 of which are still in training. They expect 36 FOs there by Sep. The flying is still being ironed out by Network. There are not many lines at the moment and a bunch are red-eyes. The crews and schedule haven't stabilized to have any info on how long sitting reserve will be in LA.
