The company has not told us anything about their "plan B" or what's to become of LAX long-term. It's highly possible they themselves don't know.
Only thing you can do is try to reach out and tell the hiring team you were told LAX was closing and beg for forgiveness. Or if you know someone behind the scenes, they may be able to help as well.
I expect to hear something concrete on the future of LAX by the end of the year. I dont have a great gut feeling, but at the same time, with the music slowing down industry wide, I'm not rushing out the door. Pretty awkward spot to be in at the moment.
