Park Ridge. Can't get any easier.

I lived in Logan Square in another life. It was great. I'd do it again, given the opportunity to upgrade. Although it sounds like it has changed.

On which airplane would a new hire hold SEA more quickly?

Hard to say but likely ERJ. Serious growth over the next year.

Hey guys, can anyone please tell me how feasible would it be for a new hire to get PDX out of training? If so, what airplane would this be in? What's the reserve like there?

Sorry if it was already asked, I looked but I didn't find the answer.

Thanks!

Logan square, bucktown (Cumberland too but not a lot to do walking distance around and not as nice as the other two)is where most airline people live if you want a train ride in. Schaumburg is affordable but you'd have to probably drive.

If you budget $800 a month you should be able to find some decent in Logan but definitely not anywhere closer to downtown. I lived in Logan, Wicker, and Lakeview and there's no way you could get me to live in Logan or Wicker over Lakeview again. Just doesn't compare in my mind. Everyone has their own flavor. I wouldn't be afraid to look off the blue line as its not hard to take a red or brown downtown to the blue line, or a bus west towards it.

Park Ridge is nice. Jeff park is cheap as well but not a lot going on out there except residential. Personally, I'd stay away from anywhere northwest of the Belmont stop. Not my cup of tea.
