Wow. A page or so ago there was some really bad gouge given. A couple of people said “at least 2 years minimum to hold LAX’ and “the most junior is over 2 years in” and then they left it at that. While technically true on the most junior being over 2 years, it is disingenuous at best.

The reason the most junior there is 2+ years in is because we didn’t hire for almost two years. The proper way to look at it is the overall seniority percentage holding each base and where that stands. For example, the most junior person at LAX was hired 2 years and 2 months ago, but up until a few months ago, their overall seniority in the company was 98 percent. In other words, it is a junior base.

Anything could happen if we stop hiring. But if we continue to hire over the rest of the year at the rate we are forecasting, then holding LAX is likely 4-6 months after IOE. Definitely not multiple years.
