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.
Definitely take the first class offered. I was surprised at the current hiring estimate for next year in SD's DEC Pilot Call e-mail.
