How's life on reserve in LAX on the 175? Anything like ORD?

Serious question from the uninformed: how are the schedules for you guys so awful when you are hiring 100 per month and passing ~85-90 per month? Are they all going to the 175?

A couple of things are at play...
- a lot of the hiring is compensating for attrition and also growing the seniority list. But no all of it is growth
- the CRJ side appears to get staffed just enough to keep up. Presumably to anticipate the inevitable fleet transition to the 175
- we seem to be picking up a lot of extra flying that others cannot do
As far as schedules are concerned it is all relative. I rather have too much work than too little but that is me.
But overall efficiency has lots of room for improvement. There are many airport appreciation sits that really get old. And because staffing is so lean there is almost no chance to get time off.

Most junior LA FO is a June 2015 hire. Most senior reserve has about a year and some change on property. This should change in June however once the 7 700s for AA are all online. For now though, LA is one of the most senior FO bases on the RJ.
