LAX Flying
 

Hello,

As a potential Alaska applicant, the LAX base has me curious. Primarily what type of flying takes place out of the LAX base?

Thank you!

Same as all the rest....And is the only base with airbus and boeing

Passenger air travel

Thanks. So LAX gets SE Alaska trips?

No. More south of the border stuff. SE AK is SEA and ANC base only.

Thank you.

Can anyone give more details about the lax base...reserve time, days off, avg trip lengths, monthly credit?

Thanks

-It’s located in Los Angeles California
-forever
-11 days off for reserve, which you will be on forever
-1,2,3,or 4 days

As of now :
Not a really senior base. But we are not really growing. You will possibly/probably be on reserve for a very long time. Forget about upgrading in under 10yrs. Right now it’s actually fairly low, about 5 years on 73 and 7 on airbus. But I see that trending way up soon.
Trips originate/end in SNA and LAX for Boeing guys. Airbus is responsible for LAX only.
Line holder 12-20 days off. Average probably 15. Everything from turns to 4 days. Boeing does lot of Hawaii and Mexico flying. Airbus mix of transcons and west coast hops. Junior and reserve will be lots of redeyes and other crap. As usual. Most of us here in LA are commuters. Crap contract. No scope. No growth. No vision. Only hope is a merger/buyout. Good luck in your endeavors.

Go apply at Spirit. They have a good contract, growth, and you’ll upgrade in 2-3 years. Why subject yourself to this dead end.
