What would you expect the timeframe to be to get a SEA/PDX domicile?

Not quite so fast. If word302 is referencing the ERJs - there is a long line of CRJ-ERJ transitions, so you're going to be behind all of those guys (who want/can hold SEA/PDX), PLUS all the ERJ new hires from the fall/winter that also want SEA/PDX.
There are currently ~69 people on the transfer/transition lists who want SEA or PDX first, if I count correctly.
Food for thought.
