I thought all of the LAX Hawaii flying went to the Airbus last fall. I also thought they closed the LAX 757 category. 🤔

You've got about 25 guys junior to you in DFW on the AB. Good luck.

There are guys my seniority holding DFW. But the MOAB will be a vacancy bid and there are a ton of LUS folks wanting to head to DFW, many of whom are senior to me. In the meantime I'd prefer to commute somewhere I can hold a line.

Prolly take that long to first move the Letter T pilots through training, then complete fleet change plans like S80 consolidation at DFW and maybe a LAA base size modification or two.

DCA is currently a little more junior. We'll see if it stays that way. IMO the flying is better for junior guys too. Fewer red-eyes than PHL.

Splitting the baby with DCA and PHL? PHL for traffic once you can avoid trips you don't want to fly.
Rush hour adds about 5 minutes to the drive from the SW to PHL. DCA in rush typicall adds 45 minutes and it can be as much as 1+15.

Anyone else hear rumblings of a PHL/EWR co-domicile, leaving LGA/JFK as a separate co-domicile? I'm just curious what PHL based folks might think of that or even if they'd heard of it? Pure rumor at this point, but I know a lot of Jersey guys would like not crossing the river, and a lot of NY/CT guys that'd feel the same.
