The silver lining may be that they can definitely do four bases with 88 airplanes. Just because they're saying they will only do three now, if the distribution of flying makes it worthwhile, they'll do it... in a New York minute.

The real sickening thing is that I'll wager a steak dinner that it gets sold to SWA.... I'd rather they tear it down than sell it to them...

From an insider prospective on the LAX shuttle flying, the schedule is custom made to be intolerant of any delay. The flights are underblocked and scheduled with 30 minute turns all day. I see very few, if any flights cancel for no pilots unless they time out, which does occasionally happen with all of the SFO ground delay programs. There are so few gates in LAX that even when we know in advance of a ground delay, we have to push and start racking up block time. Throw in any mechanical or weather issues and it just cascades through the rest of the day. Everything is just spread too thin in LAX...gates, block times, aircraft utilization, etc.

You are shooting way too low. It should be GS pay until back on original rotation. In over 20 years of airline flying, I have never been rerouted as much as I have since the merger. It reminds me of my pt135 on demand charter days. Every time you land, they have a new trip for you. I'll give them a break as far as last Friday or even the ice events, but when there is not a cloud within 2000 NM of Atlanta and another crew is running 20 minutes late and they reroute you that is total BS.
