XJT in LAX, Finally

[contract2002]

Some within the XJT pilot ranks have put forth facts and rational thought as to when XJT would hit LAX.

Others have even forecasted dates for certain flights with unique precision.

We're all just dumb line pilots, though.

Get back to work!

what about expanding into mex? Anyone seen the loads on sat mex iah?

With all of our current hubs packed, I was wondering what they were going to do with 275 jets. Looks like they'll put them in LAX. Let's all hope they open up a crew base there instead of just flowing crews through the hub.

GOOD! Fack Eagle!

I believe carlsbad is considered for feed into LAX if CAL expands there. The ERJ's have the perfomance for that( XJT did kileen TX before). Carlsbad to IAH with 13000Ibs of fuel probably not.
Fresno or SBA are no problem. There were additional feed cities under consideration but that depends on a hub in LAX. Like I said a lot of that depends On UAL. The directs to IAH will happen no matter what. As far as point to point stuff goes it might be something like IAH-PSP-LAX-Mexico(dont know where) IAH-BFO-DEN-IAH. I have heard LAX down to Mexico destinations. The rest its just speculation, we'll just have to wait and see. Bottom line is they will only do it if its guranteed to make money, they do not want to go head to head with anyone.

WITH CAL NOW IN SKYTEAM THEY WILL OPEN OTHER ROUTES TO MEXICO....LAX-MEX BEING ONE OF THEM. THIS IS NO REGIONAL, PAY MORE!!

 

[rumorhasit]

do pilots with CAL get intl. pay when they go to Mex/Canada?

 

[Ponchus pilot]

No they dont. The LAX base is all speculation now. What is clear is that there will be many more point to point cities in the near future. Another rumor I heard is that we have ordered GE engines for the 190. I love this rumor.

Sorry dude, but CLE ain't exactly packed. I don't mean to rain on every westcoast born xjt pilot but all the airplanes are going to CLE because Its such a profitable market for xjt and cal.

I'm with all of you seriously though. The West is our Manifest Destiny at XJT.
