Read up on United’s reserve rules. They’re not awesome.

What are the hiring numbers for UA over the same timespan? I'm assuming their hiring ramp up started slower and/or later?

Yes. I love LOVE all the questions to which the answers have eternally been and always will be "it depends."

And ask questions to which the answers have eternally been and always will be "it depends."

And enough of the humblebrag "i am fortunate enough to have two offers..." yes. you and everyone else...

What makes you think I'm a guy (;

I get what youre saying. I've scrolled through all those threads. Wanted it to be LA specific, I guess

People has a hard on UAL WB. I rather be here, but that’s me. Kirby = AA = USAirways = AmericaWest = promises and under delivering. He should’ve bought Airbuses for his big expansion.

FYI OP, delta has over 300 airplane deliveries the next 5-10 yrs. It’s just that we don’t make “big announcements”. BTW, delta is #1 in LAX.

That's awesome. I know UA is planning on expanding in LAX with their new T9 under construction being a UA/Star Alliance terminal, but DL definitelty has a good presence there too.

current lax 350b plug hired in 2018.

and just because you can hold a line doesn’t necessarily mean you want to hold a line.

if you live in base and/or enjoy the reserve lifestyle … reserve rules matter
