In LAX the C Series will be replacing the "regionals" as Ed B puts it.

Will the MSP base closure flush out the few lifers CPZ has? I can't imagine commuting across two time zones to a regional gig in the sunset years of your career.

There are many Guys who commute from FL to lax. I doubt we will see a mass exit of senior guys. But every jr FO I fly with that has been here less than a year talk about bailing or they already have apps in to laterally move, smh 🤦*♂️

It's tough to tell whether he meant getting completely rid of the regionals vs reducing the amount of regionals and replacing a lot of the planes with the C Series. In my opinion there will always be a place for the regional size plane but how many is up in the air. (pun intended)

The same could be said for Skywest and their future at LAX and SEA. Compass wouldn't be the only one affected by the regional reduction.

I think the question was about the top half dozen or so super senior MSP captains who are in their 60s (mostly ex ATA guys). I can't imagine many of them commuting to LAX. Maybe at first but I don't think it would last long.

It could just mean a new base for us when the C series comes in. We have always gone were they wanted us to go. Keep in mind the time it will take to deliver all those planes. Its still years away. Plus all the teething issues that are bound to happen. But yeah, its fair to say that LAX may not be in the long term plans for Delta and Compass.
