No doubt you guys will still be flying 175's for Alaska, but wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't PDX flying long-term.

I recently interviewed and was told that upgrade times are right around 3-1/2 years but expected to go down to around 2-1/2. Sound right?

Who knows, and like you said, that's a few years out at the earliest anyway.
