LAS and AZA are currently the only western routes for now, but I expect that to change once the new routes are announced.

If I had a dime for every shiny new jet/merger/buyout rumor that gets circulated
Diversion to keep pilots from running off to greener (major) pastures? The President's Executive Order to recall 1000 retired AF pilots will likely cause even Legacy hiring departments serious concern. Tip of the iceberg?
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...age/785344001/
How many of these 1000 were already hired and trained at the majors? Just spitballing' but if you divide even half that number of losses it's a huge hole to fill. Legacy hiring is already in full swing presumably due to shortage fears and hoarding the rapidly dwindling numbers left out there. This will probably stoke the fears even more.

They already get 50 percent of their military pay from the comfort of their homes.
