PDX is on the small side and unless it gets some growth movement will be very slow. I'd plan on at least a year to get in and 2+ years to hold a line. Good trip mix with trans-cons, Hawaii and shorter west coast hops. We also have the least amount of red-eye flying by a pretty large margin. It's a great base with great crews but very slow movement.
PS: Seattle is currently at 5 years and no upgrades in the next bid so I'd expect that number to climb before it drops. We are getting close to the pilots hired right before Covid so we'll see and 18 month jump once that happens.
