Anyone with real inside information ain't gonna post it here!

Where's LAX-SEA on that list?

Oops, that's already been cancelled.

I can't wait for the displacements

Like you said, speculation.
That same website DID have that drastic 49% cut of daily departures out of EWR (AUG 2022 announcment OCT 2022 effective) a couple of days prior to the company's announcement........
While one is not going to get an earlier class date elsewhere by applying 2 to 3 days sooner..........if you just got hired and you are an LAX local person.......I think the cunieform is on the clay tablet.......if it wasn't already

Unless LAX is making secret fistfuls of cash, I don't know why it's even a "hub." I would feel bad for the west coast dudes, of course, but I feel like those airplanes could be better utilized elsewhere, rather than playing... 5th (?) fiddle in a pseudo-hub 3500 miles from the rest of the operation.

3500 miles? Do you want to recalculate?

Everyone please stop the TWA 2.0 death 💀 and demise drama. The BoD did a very good job protecting the company, Ichan is not on the Board, and the two Ichan Enterprises members that are on the board look like they are present only to protect their LIMITED investment.

Limited being the key word, Ichan can never own a controlling stake (no more than 15%) and there are other TWA 2.0 protections written into the Ichan Board member agreement.

Please, move on, how about we focus on running an on-time operation and our new contract to attract quality talent. Yes, the airline history cycle will change again, and if you can stop for a moment and look at the actual financial facts, B6 will be fine in the long run. It might actually have a bright future if the new leadership can actually execute a strategy unencumbered by Government intervention. Hopefully more to follow after the appeal outcome.

B6 pilots get a quality snap-up in August, focus on the next contract and being on-time😀
