How many pilots are in LAX?
 

Just trying to get an idea how big the base is.. thanks.

Would anyone mind sharing an estimated number of pilots in each domicile aswell?

Bos - 200
dca - 200
dfw - 1800
lax - 800
lga - 1200
mia - 1500
ord - 1000
stl - 600

PHX has 1450 active

I assume LGA also covers JFK?

In the remaining US domiciles ...

CLT - 1377
PHL - 1193
DCA - 245

LGA, JFK, and EWR.

Looks like the DCA base will more than double. I hope they keep that around. I talked to one AA pilot that told me they used to have 800 pilots and at the time was down to around 300. Same amount of flying just other bases doing it.

Do most DC trips start at DCA? or a fairly healthy mix of IAD & BWI.

I would imagine ord and Dfw bases will grow and all others shrink. PBS simulations show that crews based there would be most efficient for the airline (middle of country)

I don't see MIA shrinking at all. AFAIK, it's the only domicile that's grown over the last 10 years. South America has been a reliable cash cow for AA for many years now.

Growth solely at DFW and ORD makes sense only if you are basically a domestic airline, which AA is not.
