I still think LAX has the best flying in the system by far if you're 50% seniority or better (A320). Even more so if you're +30%. Even if you're low seniority, I'd much prefer a 2 day (1-1) with a redeye eating sundays and good meals on the T-model, than the horrifying east coast flying with victory laps (WTH is that?) and other craziness. You'll also avoid hubs and that reassignment stuff I always hear about.
Well the question was what trips to junior guys on reserve get dropped to them
frequently. And my experiences with JFK are just the opposite. I looked at my junior months in LAX and that red eye to JFK was my most flown trip; being junior and on reserve, which is what he asked.
