I'm based at vny. I think at lacy it is going depend on what aircraft you are getting hired for. If its their charter department then its the 35 year old lears. For me that would be a no thanks. If its for a clients managed aircraft then it might be worth doing.

I hear the pay isnt that great. Living in LA is really expensive. The quality of life in LA is pretty bad if you dont make serious coin. Which means you will be living about an hour drive from the airport during peak traffic. So you better have a comfortable car, because you are going to spend a lot of time in it.

On 80K you can live ok. If you have a family you will need about 100K to make it. Thats what it will take to get a house in a good area. Read good schools. Its like Tijuana north there, dirty and quite a lot of gang activity there.

There are a lot of other charter operators at vny, bur, ont, smo, sna and lgb so you may have more options than you realize down in the LA area.
