LAX is an all Airbus base. Two pilots from the June class was awarded LAX.

And commutability of trips?

As someone who's an easy commute to LAS, LAX and OAK, as I remember reading, this isn't really a good job for a commuter. Is that possibly going to change?

I see over the last two dozen pages, it looks like the single days off will remain, so as long as these are early departures and late arrivals, I'm inclined to believe it will still be unfriendly to the commuter.

Commuters beware! You have been warned.

I understand this place used to be somewhat commuter-friendly! That is, until the GB regime & the end of Line bidding.

Probably never gonna be commuter-friendly whether this T/A passes or not. Top couple pilots in the base/a/c/seat can maybe get a 4-on 4-off schedule (as long as that position is adequately staffed; not always the case) but a new- hire will take several years to be that senior. In the meantime it's highly not recommended.

So with that in mind, if I can drive to OAK, what's that landscape look like as far as seniority, trips and time in and out (keeping in mind it's about a 90 minute drive)? Is it early out, late in stuff?

The TA 401k is not 10%. It's a 200% match up to 5% salary. I don't think a lot of you understand how that works. If you contribute 5% they'll match at 10% until you hit that 5% salary threshold. Then it's no more. It's a 5% 401k.

So if I contribute 5% and the company puts in 10% then that equals out to a total of 5%? I'm no math whiz but that doesn't look right to me...

The way I read it it's pretty simple. You make $100k for the year & elect 5% you put in $5,000 they put in $10,000. You elect anything more than 5% they still only put in $10,000. As it stands now if you put in $5,000 they put in $4,000.

Let's not forget this is a safe harbor plan. When you hit your maximum allowed 401K deposit for the year, you will still get company match on what you aren't able to contribute for the rest of the year. That contribution is made in a lump sum deposit by the end of the first quarter the following year.
