I agree, except for Seattle. It's just plain expensive here.
As for Horizon, right now new hires are spending lots of time on reserve with sporadic trips. Most Q400 folks are able to get Portland within a few bids after OE, but where new hires can go seems to change monthly so don't count on it. Not a lot of movement right now and not all departures from bases open up vacancies. Lots of us new folks down in PDX waiting for SEA. I wouldn't come here to build time quickly, but it's great if you want to stay in the PNW.
