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.
This is the sentiment right now. My friends tell me almost every week they fly with FO's who are planning to jump ship asap. They are tired of being on reserve for years on end, being displaced every other month and zero prospect of upgrading.
