I could hear the out roar right now if they suggested 3 reserve shifts. Those that don't want to be in reserve would be that much longer.
But you're right not only do we need them, they are coming.

Early "best guess" I've heard tossed around by people who have been here a while is it'll go junior by mid-2019.
But that's still just a guess.

It will be our most junior base in short order. The union newsletter says just 38/37 ish capt/fo’s in the la basin. A few of those have houses in Vegas for tax reasons. I can see the Orange County and Temecula guys driving but doubt San Diego guys will for long. Ballpark 150 pilots will want LAX as a permanent base and I understand it will be a good sized base in a couple years (500+). It will draw from LAS and OAK making them more junior also. I’ve been told OAK will not shrink and will have equal ETOPS pilots as LAX.
