However, there hasn’t been an AE in the last 6 months, so there might be others hired this year that are also waiting to bid LAX. We can’t predict what will happen but I’d say the likelihood of getting LAX is high.
To add onto that, bid a base/fleet that you are comfortable commuting to for a while. You wouldn’t want to get stuck in a bad commute because you were planning on holding LAX on this next AE but then weren’t awarded a position. Not sure what your in-class seniority is but definitely put the 717 options last as getting put on that fleet will absolutely be your slowest path to LAX.
