There is no growth at LGB due to the airport's slot limits, so the only opening are due to FO upgrading to CA (going to JFK) or junior CA bidding back to JFK to get a line vs sitting on reserves at LGB.
So, if you are a new hire you have about 0% chance of LGB out of training. Plus, LGB is A320 only. IF you are a 190 guy, then it is JFK or BOS. Good luck
Just my opinion......

i would like to add to what fng320 said that a january 3 hire ( first class of 07) can hold LGB fo in the november bid, and there has not been as much attrition, hiring or upgrades since april or so 18 moths is looking more like it now. also reserve at JB is pathetic at best, so unless you drive to LGB is better to have a line in JFK and do the west to east coast commute than to be a reserve in LGB.

Callout is 2 hrs. I have never got the ready alert cold call. My trips have always been assigned the day prior. Also, I usually get long call reserve at the beginning of blocks longer than 3 days.

junior guy transferring next month (Oct) was late a March '07 hire FWIW. don't think its growing any in the immediate future for the 320. folks have to die, quit or upgrade to CA to get in there. options 2 and 3 happen often enough though. if you go at first opportunity you'll be reserve for life, not bad if you live there.
