Quite frankly B6 isn’t a place I’d say has a “good” culture. Yeah some of crews are cool. As a younger pilot group in the left seat, that’s just how it goes. But the chiefs are digging hard these days into pilots, not advocating for them. The people they are hiring these days (in all work groups, including pilots) are questionable…that’s just how it goes with very few applicants.

And just wait til this merger and SLI. You wanna talk about an angry and dysfunctional culture at AA, you ain’t seen nothin yet. DL culture will be a godsend compared to B6 in 4 years. Just my opinion though.
I’ve been here going on 5 years, and I can honestly say I’ve never flown with someone that would even come near a “no fly list” type. Not that I have one. That’s 190 and Bus. Cockpit culture here is solid…good people to fly with. If I’m being honest, I could care less about AO or even inflight. I’m polite, and I keep it moving. I show up, do my job, try to enjoy my layover and go home. Now if we can just get a JCBA that will put us on par with legacies, I’ll be happy.

What aircraft is JB flying out of LAX, 320 or 220 and what is the chance to get LAX right out of training?

Only 320 in LAX. LAX goes to new hires occasionally. You should be able to base trade or bid LAX 320 within a year if you don’t get it immediately.

Would love to see an A220 base at LAX someday. With its better economics and comfortable cabin, it would be perfect for competitive routes. Too bad Airbus can’t build enough airframes fast enough to fulfill current demand.

JB doesn't have enough mechanics in LAX to support an A220 base. Would need to triple the staff.

I just love how you are a220 to the core… you had to have some sort of hand in the design of it…
