The holiday inn across the street was the best thing going when I was based there a little over a year ago. I think it was $45/night
 
The apartments across the street (south) are a deal, if you can get the roaches to pay their share. A penny each was all I asked.
 
sorry to say but that is their fault for choosing to commute. They know what first year pay is.

You can't be for real. Everything you write is total flamebait. Go get a hobby before mom takes your computer away, kiddo.

This message is hidden because HelloNewman is on your ignore list.

Ahhh, finally, sweet relief.

That's the best thing you could have done. Don't encourage Hellonewdork. It's like little kids..............the more attention you give him/she/it, the more he/she/it posts.
 
This is not flamebait it is simply fact. People know what the first year pay coming to work is going to be. If you can't afford to commute then wait til your on second year pay to do so. If you are losing money going to work then there is a budget problem. It's only one year so get by somehow for a year then commute on the second year. There is no need to lose money going to work.

As always, your right on the mark. Sell your house and move to live in domicile to where ever you might get in ground school. I still owe you a beer dude!

Yo dipsh1t! Newbee FO's often get stuck in FAT. Most domiciles have 35-40 buck a night hotels with the crew rate. If they're trying to get another base it doesn't make too much sense to move to FAT for however long it takes them to get a transfer.

Don't look for any sympathy if your domicile gets closed a$$hole. You work for a contract flying outfit. Domiciles close or get downsized.

It sucks that FAT commuters who used to get away with buying a hotel room 3 or 4 times a month now have to get a crashpad.

So does that mean the HI is the cheapest at 80 a night? No one offers a crew rate? What does the courtyard go for?

So if you are married, just get divorced if the wife can't move right away! Is that what the mormons do? You are such an EFFING TOOL!:smash: :uzi:

Our job is unique in we have the ability to commute and live where we want to. The point is every day many people have move to cities where they don't want to because of their job. If you can't afford to commute on first year pay then suck it up for a year. After a year you will be a lineholder, probably won't need a crashpad and will be able to afford to commute. Most people in any other job that gets transferred have to move despite they don't want to.

I am not unsympathetic simply realistic. Moving a family around sucks but is sometimes part of the job. If you can not afford the commute then you should move until you can afford it. Lots of familys struggle with this issue all the time. Moving is an unfortunate part of life. We are lucky to even have the option to commute, most industries do not have that luxury. If the wife can not move because of her job then you would have to move and wait til she finds a job. People have to do this all the time. I think we get a little bit spoiled because we can simply commute when we do not want to move. Almost every other job out there does not have that option. I guess if some people really wanted to they could fly home on weekends, get an apar tment and fly to work on the weekdays. That would be a lot of money in the long run. These issues are all part of the course of life that lots of buisness people have to deal with. We are not the only ones.
