I'd agree with Brian's reply above me. Gig Harbor is a great place for a pilot. There is a huge influx of pilots moving into the area- Lots of Delta guys and there have always been a lot of Alaska/Horizon guys here. If you find the houses in the area to be more than what you want to pay, look slightly north in Olalla and across the Purdy bridge into the Key Peninsula. The drive from GH to the airport is usually around 45-50 minutes, but traffic can double that if there is an accident during rush hour. It is a pretty safe place to sit short reserve from.

I also agree that reserve will be limited. With the amount of planes that are coming on property, these extra pilots now sitting reserve will quickly find themselves with planes to hold lines on. As long as they don't open a PDX base, I'd even bet upgrade will drop significantly in the jet also (fingers crossed), and I don't expect them to, because if the do, they will lose a lot of PDX based Q400 CAs to the jet, and they can't afford to do that.
