I'm trying to figure out if it's even a viable option to commute from somewhere in the PNW to SFO as that's where I'd prefer to live...

all depends on seniority. There is a significant percentage of sfo pilots that commute to sea or pdx. They all want the same thing….commutable schedules and the Jumpseat home.

Wondering the same. Do they normally run classes during holiday weeks?

Easy answer is to bid for something I'm already typed in (320), but am looking for some feedback from guys/gals on property that may provide a different perspective. Thanks for the help!

you answered your own question with already being typed

Based on what the plethora of SEA commuters have told me, I wouldn't commute from there.

though for the delta in cost of living, you could buy a lot of tickets. Something to be said for just planning $10k/yr and becoming a high level FF

Put the tickets on a United miles credit card and get mileage points too. I flew with a captain several years ago that bought tickets frequently. He just considered that the cost of living where he wanted to live because he wouldn’t be happy in any of our bases or living anywhere but in the middle of BFE. I occasionally buy tickets, my bidding options are restricted, and I miss out on premium trips because of where I live, but I consider that money well spent. The name of the game is being happy on your days off.

I have a few friends with interviews in late October and early November. So I assume more classes will be announced soon... Take it for what’s it’s worth.

How long is it to hold a line on the 320 in SFO for someone hired today, assuming the current growth/hiring continues? I'd much rather have the 737, however with my age I think I'll be stuck on the 320.
