not sure if they are malicious enough to say something negative just because they have an opportunity....

Hey guys, I'm curious about what you might suggest for a strategy to get out towards SEA? Expecting to hole up in NYC/ATL etc. for as long as I need to.
Chance they might put some of those 79's in SEA to meet the expansion up there?
Thanks

Doubtful but stranger things have happened. The 737's are a common category -700's, 800's, and 900's. All operate out of the 737 Domiciles which are currently:
NYC
ATL
CVG
DTW
SLC
LAX
With that said there is always the low level rumor of a future west coast NB domicile. SEA and LAX are both currently gate limited for DAL so who knows? And also if there is a NB base out here it might also be the 717.
Best strategy at the current time is get on the 757/767 and hope the movement kicks in as expected.
Could be less than a year if you are lucky but will probably be closer to two. It has taken some guys 5-6 years to get to the west coast but that was when we would go years without hiring. If the movement is as quick as some say I would say around a year to SEA on the 757/767.Scoop

When the backlog of pilots trying to get back in clears in a couple years, I'd guess a new hire could hold it in a few months.
