Can anyone tell me what horizon's senior and junior bases are? It sounds like a great place to fly if you are based where you live. I currently am based in LAX and I commute from SEA. I think if I got closer my life would be much less stressful.

QX junior base is MFR about 4-5 years to get SEA or PDX as an FO. The last upgrade was 12 years for a MFR captain.
They will not touch anyone with less the. 1500 TT they got burned in the last group and are now buying off trips to give sub-1500 hour pilots above by their ATP training deadline in MAY.

If I were you I would stay where you are. There are only two flights a day sea-mfr, so you will not be able to use commuter policy. You might get GEG but even then plan on being on reserve for a while. You will be home one night a week until you are off reserve.

I'm guessing that will change but who knows; Alot of FOs chose to move there.

If you have some seniority it is a nice place to work but commuting to MFR is very difficult. It is hard to say how long that you would be based there. Probably a couple of years. Then, when you finally move on to GEG or BOI, you will commute to reserve which is also difficult.
If I was in a similar situation I would probably just stay where I was. It's a tough choice though.
