Alaska just posted that they will throw out any application from a Horizon pilot unless they have at least 2000 hrs at Horizon. No flow to Alaska anymore, no upgrade for 13 years, no pay, and no jets. ***? Why would anyone go there if they could get a signing bonus, and a two year upgrade in a jet everywhere else? No wonder they can't fill a class and are canceling flights. They Q400 is a complete POS and turboprop FO time is worthless. 
Alaska never promised any Horizon guy anything.

Simple answer. People from the northwest love the northwest and want to be based there. Horizon is a great company who treats their employees well especially in comparison to many of the airlines now days.
It's not always a race to the first legacy airline who will take you for everybody. If you're looking for a comfortable living while you're in the area you love then it's worth a shot.
With that said I fly cargo for a UPS feeder so I guess I don't have much experience for input. But I do love my home and would love to work at QX for those reasons.

I'd heard that there were plans to pull one of the RON aircraft out of MFR (can't remember where it was being shifted to), but there were no plans to downsize or close the base for the forseeable future.
Haven't heard anything about parking airplanes, but the fact that QX bought a new airplane a few weeks ago (along with the constant texts for premium trips) makes that rumor seem less credible.
