There's a seat lock on the aircraft you are awarded for 2 years. If you get an MD88, Airbus or 717 you're not going to get seattle for a few years.
The last new hired to get SEA was the first week of February and there were only 2 openings.
Only a 1-yr seat lock if the only way to get to your desired base (SEA) is to switch airplanes (new hires only).
Generally speaking it’s about 2-12 months to get to Seattle depending on published bids and what airplane you got in the drop.
