Default Most Junior LAX Base?

What airline has the most junior LAX base that is the least likely to close (yeah yeah, I know, nobody has a crystal ball, but I’m talking about strongholds, like ATL for DAL or ORD for UAL/AAL).

LAX is currently junior for DL on both the captain and FO side.
Quite a few new hires are being assigned LAX 757/767, 737 and 320. Those who aren’t assigned it on the initial class drop are able to transfer into it within a few months.

On the captain side, I believe the last bid had LAX 757/767 skippers with less than a year on property.

Definitely not great at AA right now. Maybe get better when the construction is done.

Haven't seen LAX on a new hire drop in a while @UAL. But easy to bid over at first opportunity. Vacancy bids running every 6-8 weeks. It's junior in general, but not a ton of movement due to limited growth opportunity. Expect 4-6 months on rsv currently. Upgrades still running 1 yr (after probation)

Can you elaborate? About to get on with AA, hoping for LAX...

SWA is pretty junior in LAX.

LAX is junior at Delta and seems to be growing for the foreseeable future. It's a fairly small base, so any growth is significant.
