I don't get this argument. Somehow OAK, SFO, SJC airports nearby can hire thousands of ramp agents, baggage handlers, gate agents, janitors, food court workers, ops people, parking attendants for <$20/hour with no benefits, but ZOA can't find 200 locals to work for $200k+/yr with excellent benefits and good job security? The FAA should be blasting the ZOA gig to every airport, Costco, Starbucks, Home Depot employee within 20 miles of the building, you'll solve the staffing problem overnight.
Also ZLA doesn't belong in that list.
