Guys about 500 numbers above the plug are currently in LAX and SLC. With projected hiring at 600/year guys may see the west coast in a year.

One more thing I have noticed - when things are slow guys get tired of waiting and bid where they want to be, even if they will be very very junior. When the movement picks up some guys will wait for a little more seniority before they move around which may also help more junior guys get out west quicker.
