LAX starts in May. It has been awarded already. Most junior guy is 09/15. All bases pretty much the same. Most junior is definitely ORD. If you want west coast base plan to spend at least 6 months in ORD reserve

In reality it's not really as bad as the six months sounds. By the time your done with ground, sims, and ioe you'll only have about three months to commute. Hope that helps. Good luck

Reality is 19 Delta EJets and a hand full more for AS plus all the UA EJets coming. I figure atleast 30 of the next 50 will be west coast airplanes. That 400 new "west coast" pilots needed

But isn't there like a 1000 already sitting in ORD to come west ? (exaggerating)

I believe most people are underestimating the impact these 35+ 175's due to be delivered in less than 6 months will have. Things are going to shake up quite a bit.

Exactly. 99 175s are scheduled to be on property by mid 2017. I just hope management didn't bite off more than they could chew especially since they keep finding new contracts for the 200s and 700s that are coming off contract.

That is lucky. I flew with a flight attendant the other day and asked what she liked to be called. In a very ghetto voice she said, "as long as you don't call me b itch slut or hoe we good!" Another told me her and 3 other girls were hired after all previously working for Walgreens. Another wouldn't take her headphones out during briefing. Cream of the crop.
