Good luck!
I think SEA will be very different for A's vs. B's. There
aren't a lot of F/O's that used to be based in PDX or SEA for DAL, even if both positions naturally have people living in the Northwest. My guess is CA's go ridiculously senior, and F/O's go senior-junior, with the bottom half surprisingly junior. When I took a look, it appeared there were comparatively less pilots senior to me bidding SEA 7ERB, v.s. some of the current categories.
As far as "North vs. South", I would guess nearer to 50-50. I would also guess some 330 slots open on both sides, for a handful of people in each seat that are tired of Reserve. I would guess those are back-filled by North only. I haven't seen any South guy go to the 330 yet (not saying it's not happening). For whatever reason, I think the South guys look more to the 764, and the North guys the 330, when they're in that seniority range.
