Interesting dynamics here for sure
Probaby not very many if I had to guess. Maybe a handful of junior CAs who commute to FLL from flyover country.
Our junior CA bases are in Florida, where virtually everone lives within driving distance. United has only one base in FL and I would imagine MCO 737 CA looks like a retirement home with decades of seniority requried to hold even reserve.
