Sorry, I always think of MFR as OED.

You could also live in a place like Pasco Washington where there are 6 QX flights per day to Seattle and back. The flight is around 45-50min long. The living expenses are reasonable but yet there is still stuff to do in the area especially if you like boating/fishing.

It's definitely possible. The question is... how much debt do you have? If you're paying several hundred per month in school loans, have a sizable car payment, and have other debt, then you'll have some issues. When I got hired here the only debt I had was my wife's car, which wasn't that expensive. I was pretty comfortable on first year pay.

Right on, thanks for the reply, I'm a NW kid so Horizon is on my radar. I have a friend or family member in almost all of their domiciles and starting out sounds like I'll be pulling a bit of reserve no matter were I go. Follow up question how is Horizon's training program, both in terms of flying and learning the civilian side of things?

ORM, just to provide some insight, my quals are extremely similar to yours and I got a call for an interview. Haven't flown since Nov 30, 2012. So I think you should be fine.
