Look at a map of Norfolk and draw a 50 mile and 100 mile ring around it. There are some great places to live and drive to ORF. Virginia Beach, Newport News, Outer Banks of NC, Elizabeth City, Richmond, Edenton/Morehead...
It won't be great for commuters, but if you are interested in living on the coast, there are some great options. If I was 20 and single again, Virginia Beach area would be very attractive.

If I have to guess, a lot of stagnation has been due to smaller upgrade classes before the union and the company reached an agreement for forced upgrades. Not that I agree with the LOA, but to answer your question, it should help with FO reserve times.
However, a lot of junior CAs who voluntarily upgraded are now facing extended reserve time because those who are senior to them are upgrading.

From: RW instructor pilot and Maintenance test pilot
I get that, but looking back to the summer, those same positions and times were a minimum of 2 months shorter. Regardless of anything else, the times have increased to hold r1. Is that not correct?

DCA was shortest to hold Round one for FO when it first opened as a crew base last year. But now it appears they have more pilots and the time to hold R1 is taking longer. I would say Charlotte is about 1 month longer than it was.

DAY has only increased about 2.5 months since this summer and is still the most junior. This is most due to the huge number of 2017 hires and the slow fall upgrade classes.
