You have a very good chance of getting LAX 737. They tend to have very bad trips and since it’s largely a commuter base that bid status goes very junior.

Ok good to know! I spent my Regional careeer flying out of LAX so I know it and plenty of people out there well until I can swap out or maybe move back....decisions, decisions.

Curious. Does one have to be crazy senior to get a decent amount of trips originating/terminating out of SNA?
Also, I’ve heard grumblings of SAN pairings or reserve available. Any truth to that?

Also: SNA and ONT have fewer flights/day on both AA and OAL, so there’s a narrow window of commutability.
I’ve noticed SAN trips go a bit more senior. Very few in open time.
On reserve, You can specifically volunteer to be a San Diego reserve. This assigns SAN trips somewhat out of seniority and time balancing order, but I can’t speak to the specifics off hand

For LAX 737 FO, SNA and ONT trips don’t all go very senior. Keep in mind that there are lots of commuters. Many commuters can get to LAX in one leg easier than the satellite hubs, thus those LAX trips are often more desirable.
