Zero question it’s United. LAS will likely end up with 300-400 pilots based here (less than 200 now) and any new hire can get to Vegas immediately. Also we just had Captain going UNFILLED which means anyone with a year on the property and 500 hours at United (the contractual minimum to be a Captain) could have held it. How long to hold Captain at SWA? 8-10 years?
I wouldn’t be surprised to see Vegas grow substantially over the next few years.
