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.

Yeah if your parents live there and you can stay with them. South central LA might be more suitable for 1st year regional pay. Or throwing up a tent under the 405

Good news for all of those on first-year pay who already sleep in campers in the employee parking lot!

One bd apartment will run you 1200-1600/mo. A 2bd will run 1600-2200/mo. I have roommates so it works out.
