Well, out of training may be a stretch, though after the last bid, the most junior pilot awarded LAX EMB FO has a seniority number of 2782, out of 2857 pilots on the seniority list (or 75 from the bottom -- all but unheard of around here as LAX is our most senior base due to its relatively small size).

Keep in mind, though, that although you may be able to hold LAX within your first 3-6 months, reserve may potentially be 2 years, and I can tell you that commuting for reserve is nothing short of miserable (even if the commute is an easy one). Take that with a grain of salt, as there is a lot of movement here these days, however today the junior lineholders in LAX have about 4-5 years seniority. That will come down as the LAX EMB flying increases and as long as upgrades continue well into 2011.

In the beginning, it'll all be the same. You'll be on reserve wherever you are. However, if QOL has any importance to you, you may find yourself considering ORD after a few months of commuting to reserve in LAX, as you'll almost certainly hold a line in ORD looooong before you would in LAX. But whatever floats your boat!

As for the latest apparent fleet plan, LAX and JFK will both see CRJ flying introduced in 2011 (moreso for LAX), however it appears all this flying will be done by ORD based crews.
