I was late 2017 hire....NYC 737 guys were able to transfer to SEA around the 9 month point.

MOAB 2019 has at least one person trying to get into SEA that was unable around 1 year in.

There are rumors of mini and Cana buses coming to SEA. If one or both of those pans out, it’ll unlock SEA.....

FWIW, if you live in SEA, commuting to SLC or LAX is not the end of the world so I wouldn’t let the potential wait scare you off.

I asked Phil Esposito (head of network) at the recent Velvet in ATL where the A220 might expand to including a new crew base and he said probably west coast and probably SEA.

What does he know about marketing, much less A220 basing?? He was a marginal GM in NY and Tampa despite being one of the best "centres" to play the game. 😁

He might have an idea of what routes the A220 might fly, but he won't necessarily know where it will be based. If you looked at the route structure of the 717 in the west coast, you would assume it was based in SLC.

Also, us Canadian folk would consider “centre” the correct spelling.
