Why don't the take off on the outer most runways at LAX, and land on the innermost thus eliminating the need to cross in active runway after landing?
You have to cross runways either way. Crossing planes to get to the outboard runway would decrease the departure rate.
 
How could two Midwest professionals allow this to happen, I mean, the combined experience level between the two..........oh wait a minute......sorry it was a rent-a-crew.

Last I checked RAH owned that route, plane, and crew.

Uh-huh. Real expert here. :rolleyes:
 
Why don't they takeoff on 7/25 and land on 6/24 or visa versa. They would still have 2 rwy's each for departures and arrivals, but wouldn't have to cross an active as much
