You just want to have realistic expectations for base timing, I think it will take a while for you. There are FOs here now who want PDX or ANC that are now getting sent to SFO. They are waiting to get to at least SEA but the last vacancy bid (effective in March) only had room for 20 FOs to move to SEA. The funnel is SFO or LAX > SEA > PDX or ANC. PDX and ANC are small bases with few retirements so the math is challenging. Pick the earliest class date possible to get in the line.
Things could change but it seems like expectations for growth and movement are dialing back.
