It may not go senior at first but at almost every airline that has had an LAX base now or in the past it's been one of the more senior bases. The west coast bases are senior to the East coast bases at almost every airline.

Makes sense. I would imagine everyone applying to Compass (well a lot) before the LAX announcement lived in the Midwest. I doubt anyone at the point had any desire to move/live out west. I'm sure now that it's been announced, all the west coasters are chomping at the bit to get their stuff in.

The question is, how many current CPZ pilots transfer to LAX where there seniority will be senior in base? I bet it's senior at the top and really junior at the bottom. Does MSP shrink and displace a bunch of junior MSP folk? Lots of factors. We shall see!

Aer Lingus
British Airways
Virgin Atlantic
Flybe
KLM
Lufthansa

I also have an offer from ExpressJet but reading through the threads here I don't think I'll take that.

As I said, the commute won't be something I'm constantly doing, but ZEDs on the carriers above would really help.

We've just recently started getting ZEDs on British Airways and Virgin Atlantic at ExpressJet. We also have KLM and Lufthansa plus about 50 others. I don't think we have Flybe or Aer Lingus though.

Honestly, I wouldn't come here. That being said, I'm a Brit and I manage to go home about once every 5 to 6 weeks for a decent stretch, so it's not all bad.

I'd be interested to hear what Mesa's ZEDs are like?

Thanks for the replies. Can anyone tell me if Mesa have ZEDs with the previously mentioned companies?

3stripes, check your PM. Interested to hear how you manage a regular commute to Europe.
