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

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.

These ex CPZ birds WILL fly into LA one way or the other. It might be fly through initially but I fully expect a base at some point after the crisis passes and bookings are on an upward trend. 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.

LA flying will most likely be done by Skywest as AAG will continue to outsource when able to save a dime. Mesa will stay in the area for whipsaw purposes to keep Skywest in check. 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.
