Easier. More service. But anytime you throw SFO into the mix, you run flow delay issues. About every other day they run 2 hour delays all morning. Then it clears out in the afternoon. LAX isn't plagued by this issue

Stay away from SFO, low ceilings and a little bid of fog and you're ***.
Out of 4 runways, it can easly become a single runway airport.
They'll stack you up, and you'll end up diverting to OAK, SJC, or worst SMF, with no way getting back to SFO, SkyWest RJ if you lucky and mainly E120.
For Pacific NW, IAH is the best commute, even with TS in forecast, they still use all 5 runways, and delays are usually short if any. I have never had problems with IAH. Enjoy...

Wrong:
You can't look at date of hire anymore, you have to look at system seniority.
Most junior SFO FO hire date is Jan 2013, but seniority is relative to those hired in Feb 2012.
That is over 500 numbers in seniority.
So most junior FO is from mid 4600 out of 5376.

Also of possible importance is the bottom 7 guys are furloughed L-UAL, flying on the CAL side.

I assume this doesn't apply to the system-wide junior 737 CA (Sep 06) or the system-wide junior 756 CA (Sep 05).
