Hey guys.
I am sure this has been covered at some point so I apologize if it's elsewhere and I just couldn't find it. But I wanted to get a sense of how junior LAX is. I am super stoked about getting a CJO and although I know I won't have a class date for awhile, and that this is all subject to change, I wanted to start doing some expectation management. I don't really care about what I fly or even necessarily getting to Captain ASAP. The goal is just to be LAX-based since that's where I live. I would assume 73 would be the best bet initially if LAX isn't offered during BI? Thanks!

I know someone who just interviewed last week and was told at the intro they are filling December classes now.

There's essentially ZERO long term uncertainty about whether current united CJO's are coming to class. It's gotta 110% suck to be waiting ... but this isn't an issue like spirit. Every factor points toward united to continue to need to add people - they have about 50 pilots/month retiring for the next decade - they have to hire.
