GEG is a relatively junior base. If you make the jump you may have to commute for a couple months but you'll likely get GEG by the time you consolidate, they let you pick your IOE base.

Seemed like they are opening up to hiring previous 121 time folks, so if you're really looking to live in base you'll be able to do that.

For the person saying they could close the GEG base, I mean its possible at some time in the future but they keep the MFR base open with like 10 lines a month, thered be a full on mutiny if they closed GEG, so I'd say your very safe for a while for the GEG base. At least long enough until you go to the next stop.

Good luck, feel free to DM me if you have any questions.
