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.

Just took a CFI along (also a good tour guide). Flew over to Molokai along the northShore, landed at both airports there then flew back along the West and North shores of Maui.

BTW, decided on a Glock, picking it up on Friday.

Does everyone pretty much find their own living arrangements, or does the company maintain some sort of house/apartment for pilots (sort of like cape air afaik). Money doesn't go too far in OAK and the other junior bases...

You're on your own. Although sometimes pilots are looking for roomies.

If you're outstation based you generally spend the day at home and spend the night in a crew apartment/hotel. There is some form of transportation provided to the apartment/hotel; it could be a company car or a hotel shuttle.

Good if you live in the outstation; not so good if you live in Phoenix and then drive back and forth to the outstation, in which case, you also have no place to stay during the day.
