Cause this is Filllerrrrr!

Has anyone heard anything about new hire class dates beyond August 7th? Still curious to hear something about the plan for those of us in the pool....

Heard Leach and the boys were not happy with their last visit to Japan. Don't be surprised if the MRJ options are sold or cancelled, and the delivery of these 175s are moved up. I suspect you are seeing the backup plan if the MRJ continues to have problems.

In the same boat...hopefully hear something soon

But what the hell is/was the plan for the MRJs? I still don't understand why FFD carriers are buying their own airplanes.

My guess is that they're setting up to fly FFD for ME carriers, but that's just a WAG.

Its going to be hard to move those orders up:

The E175-E2 model in the 80-seat range is the smallest in the E-Jet Second Generation family. The E175-E2 was extended by one seat row, compared to the current generation E-175, will seat up to 88 passengers, and is scheduled for first delivery in 2020.

Just curious if any folks that are LAX based are currently living in the Southern California area, and if so, what are your drive times like to work? Trying to figure out if the drive from SD is doable. I know I won't be able to stand reserve from home, but just curious how bad the drive is towards LA.

I live in Hollywood 2 blocks north of the walk of fame, it's a 25 minute drive in no traffic to the airport and 45 minutes in traffic. SD might be pushing it, anyone else wanna chime in?

EDIT: From what I've heard, the drive times in/out of traffic are similar for the Redondo Beach area.

I live in LGB. It's about 25 min without traffic from house to lot. Then another 10-15 from lot to gate. If there's heavy traffic plan to leave about 1hr 30min early. Usually I leave about an hour prior to show 9/10.

People in OC leave 1.5-2hrs prior to show.

That drive from South Dakota can be a b*$&#.
