Hello. I'm thinking of applying at the end of summer and I have a few questions I hope some of you can answer.
1. How easy is it to get a PDX base out of training and when in the application/training process do you get assigned a base?
2. I will most likely meet the 1200 hr captain minimums by the time I apply. If I've had no 135 experience, is it likely that I will get an SIC position first? I think this would be preferable so I could learn the ropes first.
3. If I wanted to start training around September/October-ish, when would be a good time to apply?
Thank you. I appreciate all the help I can get.
