Netjets TEB/DAL domilciles?

[TORCH67]

PBI will be the next to fill up. There are a bunch of ex-Indy Air pilots moving down there. It will be interesting when only CMH and LAX are open for new hires!

It looks like Baja and me are the only ones that actually want to be domiciled in LAX, since we already live in SoCal.

If NetJets actually limits its choices to CMH and LAX, I think the number of qualified applicants will dwindle significantly. Unless you're from Ohio, or already own a crib out here in SoCal, I can't see many folks volunteering to move to a commutable distance from either.

Still waiting for an interview...........

CMH would be a hard sell for my wife, and LAX is absolutely out of the question. I'll be really disappointed if PBI closes this early in the whole "domicile" system, as it's the only base that I actually want to live in.

Isn't the PBI area just as expensive as Socal?

I grew up in CMH and lived/worked in PBI for about a year and am now living in the CMH area.

I'd prefer CMH. Work out of OSU/TZR/CMH.

COL in PBI is through the roof A "modest" 1 BR 850sq. ft. apt cost around $1200/month when all things were considered (Rent, Electricity, water, cable etc etc.) Gas prices are high, traffic is a beyotch. I hate I-95. A significant amount of "Cops" episodes came from Palm Beach County, Riveria Beach and the like.

The snorkeling in Columbus isn't as good as Palm Beach. The bikini's aren't either. There's enough to do around Columbus you won't be bored and it won't cost you an arm and a leg to live here. It's EASY to get around in Columbus with the way the freeways are set up.

If I was qualified for the job I'd apply. 1500hrs doesn't cut it. Know a couple of X Captains and an X ACP...very nice guys.

I think you can drive a 2 or 3 hours away from PBI and find something resonable in Orlando, FLL, Daytona, or out in the swamp west of town. LAX on the other hand, if you drove 2 or 3 hours you would still be sitting in traffic near LAX. Just looking at SoCal from the air compared to South Florida is no comparison, Urban Sprawl seems much more serious in California in my opinion.

PBI is expensive. I'm recently hired; got PBI and commute. I'll tell you two things...Netjets doesn't help you out with commuting at all and they want you at your domicile. They spent an extra 600 bucks buying me a commercial ticket to FLL with a rental car to PBI rather than let me commercial to my home which was much closer. Now that I'm based in PBI, often I get commercialled elsewhere to start my trips.

If you want to live in PBI and can afford it; you're in there. If not, life will not be easy.

Add to that the threat of hurricanes every summer. Can you even buy hurricane insurance any more?

Yeah, but I'd rather live in the hurricane's path than in Compton, CA. LA is definitely not a cheap place to live. What are the call-out times for NJA pilots on a reserve schedule? How far away from LA could you realistically live and still be responsive when called given the terrible traffic situation? You would end up renting an apartment in El Segundo or Hawthorne for the rest of your life...
