The current junior WB FO in SFO would be 40% on the 737, but that was awarded a while ago when things were humming right along and the early retirement of the 747 didn’t drive the award seniority much higher. He was at just over two years on property then. The most junior SFO WB pilot award on the last vacancy snapshot would be 9% on the 737 in SFO.

I’d guesstimate that that seniority will drop over the next few vacancies and you’ll again see the 777/787 available to guys in SFO at 2+ years, if wanted.

But, as mentioned above, you’d be giving up poke at Suisan and Umekes, sunrise at coffee plantations in Kona, cheap scooter rides with snorkel gear thrown in for free, Mai Tais and pupu at Uncle Bo’s, and free Blue Hawaiian helicopter rides all over the islands so quite a few will choose paid vacation for “work” with weekends/holidays off over watching other people fly from the jumpseat.
