It depends. Good answer, I know. When I got hired in Nov 04, LAX F/O was going junior to MEM -11 F/O. A newhire in my class bid LAX shortly after we got out of S/O training and got it. I think it was about a year and change total until he was on the line in LA. Of course, he's 4th from the bottom in LAX and has been for a year now. Looking closer at the list, I'd say LAX is pretty senior right now, especially for Capt's.

I was hired summer '01. LAX based opened summer '02 and went REAL senior. The flying was crap and almost all domestic so there was a mass exodus and I was able to sneak in at the bottom. So...I had been on property for 2 yrs, the base open 1 yr and was able to get out there. BUUUUUTT, the flying got better in LA with a lot more international and I would NOT have been able to hold for the next 2 bids.
LAX base seems to altenate; it goes senior one bid and then junior the next so it really is all about timing.
Clear as mud now, huh!?

why is being junior at LAX any worse than being junior @ MEM, ANC, SFS and commuting? I'm "fortunate" to live in the MEM so commuting's a non-issue. Is it the high crash-pad prices?

Its is not so much the crashpad prices but they are hard hard to find. You would think there would be alot of them but theres not of availablitity close to the airport.
