Hello all. I'm wondering if anyone has specific insight into commuting out of PDX. I'm military, retiring in the spring, and for family reasons we are strongly considering Portland. So, of course, first step is getting hired... just trying to do expectation management and focus efforts.

From looking at other threads FedEx is very commuter friendly, but I'm wondering how it truly compares with, for example, flying for DAL out of SEA (i.e. long drive to work but at least you can drive, versus definite airplane commute to MEM or elsewhere).

Also, given the retirement numbers, is there any hope of getting home trips/overnights (i.e. PDX) in a reasonable number of years (say, less than 10 years from hire)?

Thanks for any info you can provide!
