In support of a NW forum, I can only point you to the current Capt Denny thread in community which is turning into one of the larger Do s.
In support, the local communities both in SEA and PDX are larger than one suspects. We are lost among the West however you define it. There is now a small group attempting MRs from PDX and SEA with others in the same area. Recently I met a new FTer in FRA at her 1st Do who had been in SEA for 3 years and had difficulty finding others.
I have a distribution list in excess of 100 identifiable FTers who live in the Portland Metro
Area. Long haul business traffic is high from both cities. The number in SEA is even larger. People ask questions in other forums because our corner of the earth is lumped in with a much larger area.
Capt Denny's remark last night during a phone call was that UA was amazed by the response when they tried the 1same thing in DTW the turn out was abysmal. Just go to community and look for Capt Denny January 21, 22 PDX
