Back to LAX
Thing only consistently is inconsistencies

I heard we may have some 6 leg one day trips coming out of LAS - 3 turns to all the short destinations.

I sure don't want to see 5-6 leg days that credit 6hrs that start at 6am and get done at 5pm.
Not to mention they will run the trip right up to the FDP limit with like 40 minutes to spare so one screw up will scrap the rest of the sequence.

it’s going to be tough to squeeze 6 leg west coast turns in las under 8 block. The bare min block on 4 leg is 530. Throw in 11 duty restricted and it’s really not possible. A 4 leg with all less than 1 hr sits on my schedule is well over 9 duty.

This is a pretty big departure from our bread-and-butter Midwest-to-sun type routes. I mean LAX to SFO? this is a real change in strategy, and I wonder what it all means.
The optimist in me is thinking heck yeah let’s throw some respectable frequency on these routes and show Kirby what it really means to meaningfully compete with our CASM. The pessimist worries that we can or will even attempt to actually do that.

That being said, they get no respect until they can make profits by paying THEIR EMPLOYEES a industry standard pay, both pilots and flight attendants. Everyone in this place is being paid less than elsewhere, except a select few, those at the top.
That pay pyramid is the biggest on the top and gets smaller towards the bottom with BB making more than his "peers" (CEOs) at other airlines of similar nature. Our workload and responsibility also is an upside down pyramid where all of the crap is up top and the pilots and flight attendants deal with the brunt of it at the bottom.
