You must have put your APC sideboob submissions in the wrong spot on the app??? You should have been a shoe in.

Homie,

Have you got your pic yet, the clocks ticking, let's get you hired!

The motel six in Compton is a safe bet.

Soooo.... Where are you? USAir/aa?

Whats even stranger is that I believe there will be three 777 departures from LAX this summer with NADA. No soup for you LAX would be 777 guys!

If the LAX 717 comes to fruition - I am putting the over/under on the bottom LAX 717A at 7500.

Scoop

It's coming - 35 LAX B717 positions in AE next week. Also growth of ER & 73NG. And I think you're number is going to be very accurate.

T'was in the darkest depths of Mordor, I met a girl so fair.....

All the LAX 777 guys I know don't WANT a base out there! They are already getting paid an extra 10 hours per trip to deviate deadhead from ATL on both ends of all their trips!

The SYD trip pays 38 and blocks 28, the west coast guys show up night of departure and fly a 38 hour 3 day trip twice a month (6 days work) with a 24 hour layover in SYD. If there was a LAX 777 base, they'd only be paid the 28 block, and have to fly one more trip to make a line. Do you know how much it would suck to have to work 9 days a month?? :eek:

The company would love to eliminate all that paid DH time, of course. And as soon as they put the 777 into LAX, Network will change the 777 trips and the LAX guys will DH to SEA or JFK or MSP or DTW or ATL to fly from there!

I wonder what effect it would have on the other three 717 bases.

I suppose not a whole lot, if 25A/25B would be it for a while, as that'd be 5% of the total 717 pilots (once fully staffed for 88 or 92). Think 50 total pilots would be sustainable in one base? It would be about half the size of DTW.

Comparatively a lot more awesome for the west coast or those who want out west!

I doubt 25 would be the final number - probably just the first bid and more Pilots would be added as needed.
