Maybe the DC-10 crews from the recent excess bid?

Let's see - MD slots in LAX - Where is it easiest to dh to HKG from?

Can you say STV for the MD10 base in HKG

Good possibility that is a plan for the future, but the main reason for the LAX vacancies will be for domestic flying increases in that base. (rumor mill)

Why would domestic flying increase, that system is flat?

Wait, I forgot about the sodomizer

Also, the talking heads have been trying to find a reason to shut down LAX since it was opened. Only one defending it was ANC Chief Pilot.

Not an increase in domestic flying overall, but more of a shift of flying from MEM base, Optimization in progress...there are a few reasons why and we will see soon.

pilot hiring office

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with a girl who said that the FedEx pilot hiring office is going to be shut down for two years.
