If you read the tread I posted hire dates from PDX. Time to hold will be based on hiring. So a timeline is unknown.
Personally I wouldn’t want to be based at PDX since it would take an extremely long time to upgrade or you’d be on commuter reserve as captain for years.

During 2018 when I was hired the top 1/2 of the class got SEA. The bottom LAX. It took about 6 months for the LA crowd to make it back to SEA. Some opted for PDX which took about 18 months or so.
Granted that was when we hired 450 pilots. This round is for 300. However management is making noise that we will hire at an unprecedented level for the foreseeable future.
Personally I do not believe anything management says and try to just enjoy my time away from work. To each their own. I have no idea what the future will bring.

I second this. For my hiring cycle there were a little over 1/2 of the pilots hired that was mentioned by management.

Looks like people may not fall for it this time, unless their friends and family actually start dying.
