Default LAX Flying on the Bus

What's the LAX flying like on the bus? Fairly senior? How hard is it to get LAX if you're not awarded it out of training?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Easy to get. The flying used to be pretty good, but it’s been a few years since I was based there and I hear that it’s not as good now. Transcons are great, Hawaii on reserve or when you get senior with a line. Embrace the red eyes though, because you will do them. I’ve been PHL, CLT, DFW and LAX based. I found LAX CA’s to be the most laid back and enjoyable to fly with YMMV.

Where do the DFW CA's rank?

Lots of front side red eyes when you can hold a line. Took me about a year to get day trips. The captains have been great. Fun to fly with. Plenty of good layovers on the red eyes (LGA/JFK, BOS, DCA, etc). Not many class drops for LAX these days so your progression may be a bit slow until that changes.
