When the order was announced it was stated somewhere (press release, Crew Resources Newsletter) that the 330's will be targeted at the Atlantic markets and the 350's at the Pacific. So LAX and SEA would be prime candidates.

The possibility of a joint category with the 330 is also possible. The issue however is the FAA will require you to maintain currency on both airframes.

Can someone help me out and give me the name of a crew hotel close to LAX that would be suitable for my family (with young children)?

There's a 737/320 meeting wednesday, so perhaps some more info comes out then.

See ya there, Clamp! What's the secret handshake for APC?

Hold up The Shocker with your left hand high over your head, and hold your right hand out in front of you, palm up, doing the under boob squeeze.

Thanks guys, but last year I got the call from my second-choice outfit. Then, when I wasn't watching Breaking Bad, I was studying how to make "the Crazy French Hoar" go down.

From a friend at the meeting:

AE next week 25 LAX B717 crews. (Someone owes me a case of Ballast Pt IPA's.)

He also said LA will take new ER & 73 Capt & FO's. Not sure what that means other than maybe he means growth in all categories.

No 777 for now. Maybe late Fall if we keep NRT. If it happens 22-25 crews.

Baja.
