The guy that doesn't quite work here yet is in the know....
This will be funny if it's actually true.
Did the gate agent mention anything about more aircraft orders? Or are we just about done growing.

Not how it works here, sorry dude. We pull the trigger then prepare. Once opened two bases (LGA and SJU) based on high hotel costs, only for the bean counters to realize months later that they never accounted for the additional reserve coverage costs. Hundreds of thousands of losses and a few months later those bases closed.

If we do get a base (LAX or otherwise), we'll announce it first then start looking for real estate. Chairs and computers? Please, our largest base doesn't even have those.

Well, we did find out about the GoJet flow via Facebook so.....

However, I was told by a FA trainer that the LAX would open for sure January 1, 2016. I still don't have the door code...

I was talking with a Check Airman today and apparently the anouncement has been delayed until 11/3. Not sure why.

I heard Spirit is going to base the MRJs out of there. Maybe the new trade sanctions with North Korea are delaying the deliveries/base opening? Who knows, it's all speculation at this point.

All we can hope is that it happens soon.

I talked to Ron Beentoldshiet today and he assured me the LAX base was a done deal. A new hangar is coming up to be named "The Bob" and will be a major hub for the upcoming 737 Max 8's that are coming.

Also, an in depth passenger survey has been completed and the snack boxes are being updated. The Wheat Thins are being replaced by animal cookies and the smoked cheese in the cheese plates are being replaced by Munster. Look for the wet nap to be reintroduced to the boxes as well.

I wish I had more to report but Ron was in a rush. The large woman who drives the super shuttle in IAH was threatening to leave him at the curb.

Wet nap=litter, Animal crackers? Are you serious? We're trying to open a California base here. It's only ok to eat animals, it's not ok to kill. Maybe the crackers will be in the form of a turkey burger or salmon loaf. That's ok to eat right? The cleaner I spoke to yesterday assured me that the base will be opening by 11/15.

I can back this up as well as my uber driver in LAX told me the same thing yesterday.

I heard the same from my driver, but, it's unfortunately been delayed a bit more. I'm hearing the anouncment has been delayed until 12/14???? Please tell me this isn't true.

Has anyone spoken with a crew scheduler lately to confirm this?

Spoken to? Yes. Understood them? No.
