When LAX opened for LCAL last year the right seat went surprisingly junior, likely because the cost of living is so high. In August the junior LAX FO is one from the bottom of the entire LCAL seniority list so a new hire might get in there quite quickly. If SFO parallels then good for you.

LUAL has some unique circumstances affecting them in that they still have over 1,000 on furlough with a good number of them already flying LCAL 737s awaiting recall. It's less predictable what might happen in SFO as a result. All eyes will be on it though.
Historically, LAX has always been a very junior base for L-UAL...fyi
