For a long time SEA was the most senior base. But over the last few months it opened way up and now the junior FO is a February 2014 hire. Pretty sure it's all 700/900 flying and now they will be adding seven 175 to the mix. The company hasn't stated whether these 175's will replace Alaska 700's or not. But with DL wanting 30 gates there, I have reason to believe the SEA domicile will expand. If SKW does their flying or CZ does remains to be seen still.
