Also curious about the flying out of SEA and LAX bases and seniority to hold both. SEA is all 76, correct? Typical 74 routes at LAX? Thanks 🤙
First thing to remember, is that customers and routes change all the time.
SEA 767 is junior, bottom 10ish on the list. Probably all displacements off the 777. It a lot of Pacific pax charter, but you could also find yourself flying salmon and flowers out of Columbia, or in Louisville during peak for Atlas Appreciation trips.
LAX is 747 and 777, but limited operating trips out of LA. NRT and HNL on the 747. XMN and SZX on the 777. Lots of Commercial DHs on Day 1 to ORD, JFK, HNL, ATL, MEX, GDL, etc, essentially making LAX pilots home based with Alternative Travel.
The company tried shrinking LA even more in... November. The bid was canceled, probably too much displacement chaos.
