As of the today...no.
Very hard to say how long it will take to hold it. The current junior FO in Vegas has been here almost two years, but they are only 350 pilots from the bottom. We will probably hire 200-300 this year and 500-600 next year so I'd say within a year would be realistic.
If they start to move pilots back west for ETOPS reserve it might get shorter than a year. No guarantees however.
MCO, MDW, and BWI are junior. MDW is not a bad commute from LAS.

I think you mean Red-Eye reserve, but I agree, when that gets added there will be a movement back West.

500 ish seems to be the going rumor amongst the group and would match attrition and fleet changes.
