Depends on your definition of better. 737 has longer trips. 320 has mostly 2 day trips. As a commuter I'd prefer the 737. Someone that lives near LAX would probably prefer the Airbus.

Might I suggest LAX. The DFW traffic is the same, cost of living is skyrocketing and the LA weather can't be beat!


And... If I remember correctly, you might be a tad senior than lil' ole cheddar

As another soon to flow I'm also interested in LAX base. But how many trips start and end at the satellite airports? How often are reserves sent out to cover them?

Don't worry, I'll only bid crappy trips over weekends and holidays. Won't be moving either, so I won't add to the traffic problem for you...

April
215 737 FOs

Junior long call-199 (The bottom guy got LC, but I think he was in training)
Junior LAX line-150
Junior SNA line-142
Junior ONT line-133
Junior SAN line-124

Right now the lines are built to all start/end out of the same airport. I think with PBS (starting in June) you may not have all of your trips out of the same airport.

Thank you guys for all this great info! So is LAX reserve mostly LCR? Can't be easy for a pilot to get to ONT, SNA, SAN, and LAX within 3 hours.

There is no defined time you have until you show. Just promptly
