Unsure if this helps, but talked to an FO that is based out of ANC this weekend and he mentioned I could bid into ANC out of training fairly quickly, but other bases are a bit more popular, so probably more than that from what I gather?

Also the PDP has been suspended for new applicants due to the log of pilots in the PDP and bottleneck with FO's. They said they would be re-opening the PDP to new applicants this fall.
