United has the A320 in LA and I believe you cover Burbank and Long Beach. The pay is less, but the lifestyle looks better.
Thoughts for a potential new guy? birdeater

I'd go DAL and worry about covering the extra bases later. LAX is very junior right now. I'm moving the fam to Park City UT for the QOL. My next door neighbor is a UA Captain on the 777. I think he'd be thrilled with a DAL/UA merger. That speaks volumes to me.
