I ultimately concluded it’s going to be over two years for a current new hire to get FO PDX. Probably closer to three or more to hold a jr. line. It didn’t seem like a QOL highlight to me.



I’m not a AS employee. I do not have solid numbers. I only have antidotal evidence through calling my AS pilot friends to ask about this same question.



Hope this helps in your endeavors
