KBLV is exactly a 26 minute drive from the center of downtown St. Louis. It would be an ever closer drive if you lived on the east side of the city. It’s not a bad city to live in if you like the midwest style of living.

I haven’t been to East St. Louis in 20 years but it wasn’t a nice place then.

I mean like the neighborhood near OAK kind of bad.

Even that is being immeasurably generous.

Youre joking right?

“Consistent with the extensive poverty, unemployment, and social ills, a 2007 study in the journal Homicide Studies noted that "East St. Louis has consistently experienced a high violent crime rate and continues to report a substantial number of annual homicides."[29] In 2013, the per capita homicide rate in East St. Louis was about 18 times the national average,[30] and had the highest homicide rate of any city in the United States.[31]”

Yes. I’m sure Pilots, with well above median salaries for this country, are going to live in the ghetto because “well it’s close to work”.

Yes, East STL is pretty 💩 . But there are a lot of areas in STL that aren’t. Same deal with MCI. Hell nearly all of MEM is. Not a single FDX guy (who lives in base) live in MEM. BNA might have a less prominent ghetto, but I bet you there is one.

If BLV opened I’ll be living dead smack in the middle. 25 mins to KSTL and 25 to KBLV. The neighborhoods in that distance range are quite acceptable. Of course I doubt it ever happens. Why on earth open a base with a ridiculous number of flights each week. I’m sure BLV will be a new G-Force arcade center before a domicile... 🤦🏻*♂️

I also don’t feel KC was advocating for those to live on the East Side. Just giving you some info. STL isn’t bad (excluding the East side) as he said.

I already drive about 30 minutes to work in my current base. If I were living in a decent area, just west of downtown, it’s about the same as now.
