Yup, probably 3 years to hold LAX. There isn't a whole lot of movement in the base. Most FO's towards the top of the LAX list could upgrade but choose not to. I'm in my 7th year and would barely be halfway up the FO list.

This is ridiculous. Someone has been pulling your leg..................

There are only 44 FOs in LA. The 24th from the top just got awarded a captain slot in LGA. He was hired in mid 2001. Four others have also been awarded CA slots so there is a little movement coming but not much. Supposedly the LA base will increase in size by 40% in the near future so it might not take as long as it has previously to hold LA.
