DH’s to SEA or SFO last month was common. I just bid to avoid any potential red eye and all nighter flying and I’m flying 10 or less days a month outside of March which was more busy.
How long until you could get reserve in PDX? Again, apologize for my ignorance - no 121 flying in my past. If I were to finish up IOE at AS, living in PDX, what might that look like? Commuting to sit reserve elsewhere?
