thanks
The majority of new pilots usually get sent to either OAK or PDX (Most chieftains and newbies) so if you are interested in PDX, you have a decent chance of ending up here.
Seniority-wise, PDX seems to be a pretty top heavy base meaning that the senior guys who are here, are here to stay. That being said, I came to PDX in Sept 2009 and in that short time, I am now about 1/3 of the way up the PDX base seniority list. This is from the guys immediately above me taking upgrades out of PDX and leaving for Airline Recalls however, most of the guys who are above me right now are not going anywhere anytime soon.
If you intend on moving up to the BE99 and so in PDX, there are several guys who have been at PDX for 3 + years who still have not been upgraded so the way to upgrade is to get outa PDX.
