I’m wondering too. It makes sense to me because if all the Airbus planes on order, but I’m not a route planner so maybe it doesn’t make sense?

From CA's that have come back from in command. Makes sense with all of the 320's coming that there will be west coast bases as well. As far as the CSeries and 717 that has been the talk for a while.

This stuff is still a few years off into the future. At least until the terminal construction projects are finished in LAX and SEA

As always things are subject to change every minute of the day around here.

supposedly some group filed a petition to register T3 as a National Historic Terminal so they can't alter it. Again, this is all second-hand info. I'm not based in LAX; just passing along the gossip

Nobody is going to register T3 as a historic anything!

Heard as we start getting the ETOPS 321s we can start seeing LAX-HNL etc. so I'm sure a 320 LAX base is on the horizon.

LAX has the most origination and destination passengers of any airport in the world. There’s a ton of money that flows through that airport. It’s the only airport where all 3 of the legacy carriers have a hub (5 if you could Alaska and Southwest). There’s a reason Delta is investing $2 Billion dollars there. I also think with all the redevelopment money ($14 Billion dollars total), the new light rail to the airport, the terminal people mover, consolidated rent a car center, and the consolidated transportation facility, LA may be one of the best large airports in the country when it’s all complete (5 years from now).

Are we paying for the terminal improvements there or is L.A? It seems we just spent money to fix up terminal 5 and 6. Then we move to the north side and give our nice updated terminals to Virgin, Spirit, and Allegiant. Now we are living in their old suck hole and have to keep spending to make it nice now. I hope the money for improvements isn’t coming out of our pockets.
