DAL LAX Base
 

How senior is LAX, aircraft and hire date for both CA/FO?



thanks

LOW FUEL

LAX is only 767 and 765 (767-400)
CA: 1981
FO: 1999

Thanks :D

he should have said 1991 for captain. The bottom captain in LAX for the latest projection is about seniority 3200, which is a 91 hire.

I thought they had the 737 over there as well? If so, whats the junior guy DOH?

no, right now the only aircraft based at LAX are the 767 and 765. (the 765 is what the category is called for the 767-400)

I'm not sure what the bottom seniority number is at LAX, but my hire date is July, 2000 and I'm 130/145 for the 767 FO position. I imagine that we will see movement in the catagory later this year (just my personal guess). The C level execs say were developing our feed so that we can eventually turn LAX into an international base. Currently we have outsourced much of this flying to Executive Jet (? not the Fractional Guys) and the EMB-145 to help developing these routes. Once these routes are developed, I can see more narrow body flying at LAX. Long story short, most of the pilot group sees a bright future for the base. The good news for guys that want to be in SoCal is that because of the cost of housing, not many guys are going to pick their families up from ATL and move to SoCal. I don't consider it commutable, but we'll have a few guys make the commute to hold a junior captain seat if we do eventually get some norrow-body flying. The word is that 2008 is the year for LAX. FWIW!

Just looked it up.... the junior LAX FO is flying the 767 and was hired Feb '01..

Just FYI: Thats ExpressJet - formerly known as the wholly owned subsidiary Continental Express. Heard on the radio as Jetlink.

I love how some of these major guys know very little of the regional world...................
