Thanks

Doubtful but stranger things have happened. The 737's are a common category -700's, 800's, and 900's. All operate out of the 737 Domiciles which are currently:

NYC
ATL
CVG
DTW
SLC
LAX

With that said there is always the low level rumor of a future west coast NB domicile. SEA and LAX are both currently gate limited for DAL so who knows? And also if there is a NB base out here it might also be the 717.

Best strategy at the current time is get on the 757/767 and hope the movement kicks in as expected. Could be less than a year if you are lucky but will probably be closer to two. It has taken some guys 5-6 years to get to the west coast but that was when we would go years without hiring. If the movement is as quick as some say I would say around a year to SEA on the 757/767.
