LAX base
Hello everyone, how senior is LAX base? How long does it take to hold a line there for FO and CA? Based on the quick search I've done it looks like there were lots of redeye trips there. Is that still the case or have there been any improvements?
TIA

They just installed a single button press fatigue call out option on our scheduling app if that tells you anything.

5 day pairings? Say what? We some 4 days with first night redeye and then day 2 and 3 are FLL-Central America red eye turns. Those trips are poor and go junior. However the rest of the pairings aren't that bad besides the normal west coast crew on the east coast routine.
We are going to have to add these issues to the list for JCBA.

Keep in mind a large amount of this commute is spent in a lie flat seat with free food and booze.
