I wouldn't hedge any bets. Alaska/Virgin are predominantly west coast based airlines. If you really want a long term stable east coast base, go to the big 4.
This merger hasn't even closed yet. They are still two airlines competing against another. There is no communication about any post-merger plans in regards to bases or fleets.

What's a good W2 estimate for a first-year Virgin pilot? There's low-training pay, then reserve, but then a line, probably with some 125% hours thrown in there. Anyone care to share their per month, or annual first-year income?

W2= probably around 48-50k.
Take home pay probably around $2800-3000/mo.
If you get on at the front of the wave you'll probably get a line in about 6 months but as always this can change. I was told about 6 months reserve and it ended up being almost 3 years.
125% will be very little on reserve, more if you have a line.
