I'm thinking about jumping over to Horizon from Skywest in order to avoid: 1) upgrading to the CRJ and 2) being sent somewhere east (I'm currently in PDX). I have a young family and really don't want to commute. It sounds like the experienced hire option could keep me and my family in the PNW at the very least (minimizing commute to at most a <1 hr direct flight) and might take less time to get back to PDX than staying with Skywest. I know I'd be sitting reserve as a CA or as an FO but am wondering what the reserve rules/days look like for Horizon. Skywest is 18/month with captains getting called way more than FOs. Can anyone share the Horizon reserve rules and/or any experience they have joining as an experienced FO?

Thanks!
