2 years is an eternity in the regional hiring environment these days, what’s happening now is likely very different from what it will be in even 6 months.
But currently with the CA shortage QX has even closed down the PDP to new people, really only those with previous 121 hrs (or applicable) are the ones they are interviewing. Again that can change quickly but as of now if you’re looking to be based in the PNW, definitely get an app into OO as well.
