Should have specified that. Put in the app as of now after the MTC event. Did the pilot flight ops internship back when I was a junior in college and good friends with the SEA chief pilot from that internship and told me I should get the interview call after the new year. Assuming things are a little slow right now.

Also, can you talk more about the living situation there? Parents are also planning to move with wife and I along with sister and brother in law already there.

Things could change but it seems like expectations for growth and movement are dialing back.

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.

I guess the same question could be applied to the SEA base

Best effort, normal traffic
short answer, no. You’d be fine. Expectation is best effort, normal traffic.
