To get awarded PDX is pretty quick. Probably could get it within the first bid that comes out for you. In base reserve is very easy. If you’re short call it’s 2.5 hours min call out so you have plenty of time. PLC is 18 hours. Usually if they give me a trip it’s the day or night before I start my reserve block so I have plenty of heads up. If you’re living in PDX and based in SEA or LAX initially you would be better off bidding PLC just so you have the extra flexibility to commute to base for the start of a trip.
