Growth city? Growing by how much? I'm not going to look up the last two vacancy bids but there were at the outside 20 captains added to PDX in the last 2 years? If someone was lucky enough to get hired in this environment and was either former military or Horizon at about 70/30% of the last couple of classes. I wouldn't set anyone up with expectations of holding PDX in 1.5 years. Just like ANC there are probably dozens of guys who want to get to PDX but are now commuting to SEA or further out. That is a lot of bids of 20 guys spread out in every base.

Until Boeing can certify the MAX 10 it's going to be many years until a new hire can hold PDX.
