Hiring has slowed down a little and the Spokane base appears to be shrinking. Realistically, I'd expect it to take about a year to hold Spokane. Would you consider spending a year in the Portland or Boise base?

A month ago I would have said you guys were right about it taking awhile to hold GEG but the April bid awards assigned almost every single new hire to GEG and a total of 22 or 23 additional FO’s to GEG. Crazy I’ve never seen anything like that before! Guess GEG is the new MFR for new hires 🤷🏻♂️
But then again you could get here and have it take a bit to get GEG or you could get it right away like these folks did. You never know!
It took me 6 months from my date of hire to hold GEG but that was 2 years ago.

I wouldn't mind spending time at any base in the system. I'm just looking for an opportunity to transfer to GEG within a couple of years.

It could be done. There are currently four QX flights per day from Reno to Seattle, and two per day from Reno to Portland. These tend to be pretty full and there are frequently pilots from other airlines who want to sit in the jumpseat. Horizon DOES have a commuter policy. If you follow the rules and still can't make your commute, then you won't get penalized.
Commuting from Reno could work, but I personally wouldn't recommend it as a new hire. It's stressful and will probably require you to commute on at least some of your days off.
