For domestic-only airlines, like WN, it appears to be exactly the same as the regional airlines. . . 5.5 crews per airplane, or 10-12 pilots per airplane.
Some carriers that operate long narrowbody flights should have a little less than that, on average. Especially in the case of night ops.

For SkyWest, 315 aircraft with 3220 pilots. About 10.2 per aircraft. One thing to consider here though is all of our instructors are on the seniority list (I think) and a number hold management positions that do little flying.

Mesa airlines currently have 10.78 pilots per plane
(712 active pilots, 66 airplanes)
PSA currently have 10.44 pilots per plane
(512 active pilots 49 airplanes)
TSA have 11.92 pilots per plane
(298 active pilots 25 airplanes)
So average is about 10 pilots per plane (In regionals that is)

At Spirit we are somewhere around 7-7.5 crews per plane. As stated before it all depends on rules and how much the planes fly. Our planes fly alot and all through the night so we have higher staffing requirements. Just like WN we are all narrow bodies but they stop most of their flying around 11 pm.
