queue has been 1 for over 30 min and no surge. I logged in to see if the queue is screwed and get pings right away.
powmoe
Lax surge broken.
1 = zero. Even the ants have figured out that you can't make money there at base rates.
More than half the rides are shorties

I just left. I think this has to do with the delete uber movement although it could be a glitch. Uber doesn't want surge with all these negative vibes in the air.
Ants love lax rides @ base rates.
They love to get sent out on a random lax ride to Simi Valley because it pays well on .68 cents a mile .

30 mins.. nope.. the last surge went to 1.8 at about 5.. then we all logged off.. didn't come back that's when fuber added the 1.1 to entice the ants it was 1 or 2 cars for over 1.5 hrs.. no surge no one picking up pax either.. ping were there at base nobody bit except a few ants and cue was at 8 -12.. then at 7 all the ants began their March to the hill
Those drivers are weird at the airport. They'll come in the gate and go online, when it's 3 cars in queue. Pure insanity.
Today I was not going to the pen, only been there once in the last two months. I did not want to go into LAX, but got pinged to T5 while I was on Century and mistakenly took it. Negotiated a car search at Century Blvd entry to departurs, and 20+ minutes of traffic to get to the E Sign.
Woman has 2 big suitcases going to hotel on Sepulveda.
$3.84 payout. Zero tip.
So looks like they are pinging outside the geofence to get drivers into LAX for the cruddy rides.
My mistake today.
Forget LAX as is.

The idiots at uber screwed up at JFK this past weekend. When the protesters went to JFK, the taxi's decided to stage a ONE hour strike to show support for the protesters, and to protest trumps executive order, well idiots that uber is decided they would not let it surge, but would take rides out of there, thus becoming scabs. Horrible publicity, so to fix the situation, they decided to cap the surge at most international airports, and did do a 2x incentive at lax from 3:30 until 6pm yesterday, but the damage was done. So now, instead of just going back to the normal 2.5x cap, they really aren't letting it surge. So people are finding other means out of lax, especially when there really is a shortage of drivers over there.
Lax is ruined until they institute the surge cap of 2.5 again, but who knows if they will. So I won't go over there.

A lot of drivers do not treat this as their own business and do not strategize on ways to increase profits. In my view, off the road preparation is the most important part of this gig and even still, it is hit or miss due to the numerous factors that can effect market trends.
IT'S VERY WEIRD. I mean, they fly in the gate, and it's only 1 person in the queue, and they'll go online.
I just don't get it. They have a chance to make more money, and they blow it.
In third world countries, one dollar equals a lot of money when they convert it. These drivers mostly immigrants don't care about any surge as long as they are making money are happy with it. They calculates more your drive more you make whether is surge or not surge, it don't matter.
You guys dont realize that every single day there is at least 20 new drivers coming to lax n they dont have a clue they can work the system and ruin it for everybody by taking trips at base price like going to weho or santa monica for pennies and sitting in traffic for minimum of 1 hour,its just common sense use your head people an figure that out
