Because of those guys and Skywest I’ve been commuting since 2012. Don’t really care about them to be honest.

But like I said earlier. Highly doubt we see lax as a base anytime soon.

I think your displeasure is misplaced. Look at Envoy and AA management. You really think Compass or Skywest had anything to do with that? All they did was bid for the flying. To be mad at the pilots is just lunacy.

No one knew MIA or LGA were opening until a day prior.

You choose to commute.

RW was open and to the point in one of his meetings a few months ago that he believes that LAX is coming back and that it will be announced this summer. When you couple the CRJ departure announcement with Isom stating that AAG wants the WO’s and three regionals of size, it makes sense. He was directly quoted as saying regional fleets of twenty aircraft are not efficient, and that AAG loses hundreds of thousands of dollars of profit per airplane that is flown by another carrier. Do I want LAX as a base? Absolutely. Do I want another twenty airplanes to staff? Nope. More airplanes means more excuses by the company as to why they can’t improve our QOL.

That isn’t true. It is a true statement when you are hired. But after you’ve been based somewhere and have a family and begin to grow your roots. Wife gets career, kids in certain schools. It’s not longer a choice to commute. Back when we lost lax I pondered hard about switching to red stripe virgin or compass (the new kids on the block.) I ultimately couldn’t afford the new hire pay for first officers at the time. I know exactly where to place my blame for losing lax. Right at amr at the time. But did I get any sympathy cards or phone calls from the Skywest or compass guys? Nope so why should I give a f if they will have to commute now?

I’d be willing to bet compass renews the contract, or if they don’t we repo the planes to Dfw and we have Mesa or Skywest continue the flying in lax. But it’s a very fluid industry and know one actually knows what’s going to happen besides isom and miss Chloe

I don’t know if I’d put 20 airplanes in the hard to staff category. Between transferring the CRJs, it wouldn’t take but a few of the more tired 145s to go back to the desert to solve that.
