NetJets Domicile Update 5/25

[BengalsFan]

I dont' know what you consider livable, but a decent 1200-1300 sf house in Riverside is between 325-400k. You can get a townhome for 275-325k, and a condo for 250-300k... obviously you can spend a lot more on something sweet, or you can spend less on something a little more rough... but this is what I've seen price ranges for stuff that is move in ready in Riverside area... San Bernardino is about the same... both are about 50 miles east of LA. Also look at Corona... obvoiusly the further away from the LA and beach area the better the prices. The commute from these places wouldn't be bad on a Sat or Sun, or obviously an extremely early or late show... but I wouldn't want to be one of the folks making this commute as a 9-5er Mon-Fri... I've heard it can take 2+ hours during the rush hours.

...If the opportunity to work for Net Jets comes my way I would like to have a back up plan for the LAX base. Just fishing for ideas right now. Would like to have a plan if opportunity knocks. Would hate to turn down a seniority number there because I can’t afford to live and get to work.

Then designate CMH. WAY cheaper than LAX.

Well I'm no banker, but a 300K mortage making 39k on a 7 and 7 schedule is gonna be tight.

In Riverside there are plenty of places for a gf or wife to dance and bring home enough $$ to make that payment!!!

Good luck!!

This is why this Domicile system makes no sense.You cannot find enough pilots who LIVE in LAX, PBI, or TEB... or could afford to live in any one of those places if they we even willing to move.Of course one or two of the Earthmen who work at CMH say it makes sense because this is where a large portion of our trips originate.DUH... yes weathy folks can afford to live there.Why don't we move Bridgeway to NY or LA and see what you have to pay to get people to work in the Casino there? The cost of living is DOUBLE (at a minimum) compared to CMH.So you are forcing people to COMMUTE 5 hrs. Then after a 5 hr commute statistics show the longest duty day is your first day. Putting you in sleep deficit and fatigued for the remainder of the 7 day tour.

You hit my situation on the head exactly. The 5 hour drive on day one is a killer, even worse though is a late return to PBI as a flying crewmember. It's 2300 you just worked 13.5 are you driving home. Not me just another night on the road

its amazing no matter how long the day getting in the car and driving home is the only option.

Funny how that is.

During the summer months and sometimes during the winter I drive 5 hours on back country roads to my parents house. It can be brutal. I've only hit one deer.

My advice buy an XM radio and tune it to channel 202

ps the 25 gateways were created because the original couple were not attracting enough pilots.

The same thing is going to happen it just is going to take longer.

Those who don't study history are bound to repeat it.

I prefer XM46, but you're right satellite radio is the only way to go.
