LAX might see fly through if AA opts to keep it as a Trans-Pac gateway, but opening a full base would be pretty expensive. In addition to pilots, you also need flight attendants, as well as mechanics and spare parts.

A proactive stance might displace and train everyone now since they don’t really need us on the line anyway, but I think management is in penny pinching mode, not proactive mode.

Compass is coming back. A friend of a friend of my neighbors gynecologist said they just hired a Chief Pilot for LAX

LA is far too valuable for AA to walk away from and to have their #1 feed provider doing the flying is going to happen.

I just read what this moron posts and interpret it as the exact opposite.

it’s worked so far.

Envoy will be around for filler, but the probability of Envoy opening a base in LA is significantly lower than the probability of THKooj getting a lengthy furlough.
