Not always. LAX went above the 50% line in my class. The next class it went in the first few picks.

SEA has been 60-80% of every newhire class. The rest have been split between mostly LAX and some ANC. No PDX in NH bid that I’ve seen.

1 year to get PDX, the rest is a mixed bag.

Going forward LAX will be Jr with both Boeing and AB assignments. JFK and SFO will make that list too. Lots of things changing in that area. Be prepared to commute for a few months. No definitive answers here.
