The -88 was the best kept secret. 5 to 6 hours of credit, no redeyes and something like 85% commutable. Paid nearly the same as 320 and 737.
I am curious how 320 LAX would be if you could hold just SNA trips. The airport has a curfew and a reroute would have to get you back to SNA.
They can return you to any airport and surface transport you to where the rotation started. You might be confusing reroute with recovery flying.
