General rule of thumb: Everything to/from the PAC NW is ugly. It can be done and people do it.
To make matters worse, the junior EMB bases are mostly two-leg commutes.
It does look like there are (unusually) a couple really junior EMB FO's in PDX...maybe you can luck out and get in there early.

If you actually want FAT you're almost guaranteed to get it. Hardly anyone actually bids to go there so they usually dump almost all of the new hire classes there. It's extremely hard to commute to. If you bid it you'll get it.

For me FAT would be very commutable as it is a 3 hour drive. I would way rather take my own wheels on the road for 3 hours and know I am going to get there on time vs. a 3 hour flight and worry about getting bumped, etc. Room in Fresberg are really cheap as well so this enables a second place to sleep for me.
I concur with Jetlink. The interview was outstanding and loads of fun. Make sure to know what Chuck did when he got into mach tuck and almost died, I think this was key
.
My times were:
4500 tt
400 multi
4 letters of rec (1 internal letter and 1 internal phone call)
BTW - I found some flashcards on Quizlet for the 6/2012 class for the EMB.
SkyWest EMB 120 EPs & limitations PreClass 6/2012 flashcards | Quizlet
I wonder if these are complete?
Also Smartcockpit.com has a bunch of EMB systems info as well as a bunch of panel diagrams.
