Currently live in PDX(base for Alaska). I'm ok with SEA (although prefer PDX)which is a Delta base. I love the Pacific Northwest and have no intentions of ever leaving. I would move to SEA if I choose DAL. Commuting isn't much of an option.

Seems like my seniority would be much better at Alaska(pdx), versus Delta where SEA is a fairly senior base (yes I do know new hires are getting SEA within several months). The hard part is I love PDX but think a move to SEA could be worth it for international/pay/variety at DAL. It's just hard to pass up a west coast airline for an east coast airline when I live on the west coast.

Thoughts? Which would you choose?
