I always figured the "mop up crew" were the dozen guys in JFK who will fly whenever, wheverer as long as VDA is associated with it. 2:30 am turn to the islands? Giddy up lets go!

I do think that's a strong possibility. Still hoping we buy AS... a person can dream.

They are financially much stronger, and more expensive than we are. If a transaction happens, it will be them buying us or a mutual tie-up.

No amount of "hope" will change that.

Seniorish. The top half of the FO list is more senior than most bases, because the captain list is senior, so upgrades are on the slower side.
After two years, I sit about the same seniority as my classmates in the other bases. There are LAX slots for new hires in some classes, but they are sporadic.
