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.

Is that due to the influx of new hires?

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.
