Pay is coming up at the other majors. WN's days of growth are over. You're looking at being a career FO flying 1960s technology into tomorrow with great overnights in places like Lubbock and Jackson.
My guess is hiring starts to pick up a lot there as a lot of junior WN pilots realize that they can do better elsewhere and start to jump ship.
I'd be pretty shocked to see people already at SWA jumping ship to be at the bottom of AA/UA/DL. Yes, there may not be 10,000 applications for 200 openings, but it will still be upwards of 5,000.
