Thanks! Can you share any light on the SEA base? I'm going to assume it's small and rather senior?

It (SEA) might be expanding soon I would imagine with all of the new Delta flying plus perhaps additional Alaska flying too. Just guessing.

You assume correctly. Seattle plug on the FO side was a 2/08 hire.

Good luck

Ok great! Thanks for the help, I appreciate it! I'm looking forward to hopefully being able to work here.

Any word on new-hires going into the 175? I don't care what airplane I fly...I just want whatever will give me the shortest path to being based in SFO.

(Although, as I write this, I realize the inanity of my question. Whatever answer is correct today, will be incorrect tomorrow)

If Skywest doesn't open SFO or DEN, expect 175 ORD new hire classes until ORD is full. There is a chance for you to end up in SFO on the 175 if the aircraft is not warmly received by SFO FOs and therefore goes real junior. Roll the dice and good luck.
