Damn I hope that's even close to being reality by the time I finish training. My parents live 10 miles from ONT. They're in their 70s, and it would be great to get to see them a little more often- PLUS I wouldn't need a crashpad, I could get a ride and a place to stay with good ol' mom and dad.

If you were a January new hire you would be a 30-40% FO today at LAX.

As a capt i sat reserve 1 month in ONT and held a relief line after that. I have friends who just finished new hire training and are going to LA and they said they are holding lines right away. Good luck.

I was out of the game for 2 years, got recurrent, had a friend take my resume to the EWR CP. Nothing from XJT. They wanted 100 hours in the last 6 months and were sticking to it.
