Its the never ending carrot on a stick syndrome. The next best thing is right around the corner.

Lax has been reopening next quarter since December 2012. The last time this rumor was rampant we were able to track it down to a flight attendant manager telling new hires lax was coming (complete with survey). The union reps put a stop to that. Lax will probably open the month after I flow. Then I get to be that mainline guy muttering about those dam regional guys taking OUR flying. Haha

Our class was told AA usually tells the company their needs around 6 months in advance, and as of now there are no talks about LAX base opening. So at least to us, management isn't spreading these rumors but rather actively trying to kill it.

Believe me, if they were planning on opening a base they would say something. Heck from a recruitment standpoint it would be huge not to mention how it would help moral for all the west cost commuters.
So either there is a very strategic reason for not telling us or they simply don’t have a decision yet.

The new hire classes are being told the LAX base is coming soon. We were told that by recruiting and instructors. Classes behind us as well.

I was at HQ back in 3-4 months ago. I spoke to a member of management who flat out said that the Compass planes are going to be transferred here and insinuated that it was a done deal. When I asked if they would be operated by Envoy in LAX or be integrated elsewhere in the AA network, he said that part they didn't know yet. Take it for what it's worth. As I said before, even if that is in fact the plan for now, it very well may change before it's all said in done. Don't believe anything until you see it.

We had a flight attendant here at Compass leave for Envoy coz she was told by one of the gate agents (envoy) that Envoy was taking the planes and the LAX base next month. Needless to say, she’s been commuting to DFW since 2016.
