How does the travel among the LA area bases work? If you live on the west side and get an ONT trip, the 1.5hr drive is on you (mileage etc)? Do they cover parking at SNA/ONT as well as LAX I assume? Or can you pref LAX/ONT/SNA when you're on reserve to lessen the chance of having to drive all across the southland to get to work?

737 or 320?
I'm heading to class on NOV 29th. Prior H-60 driver. From what I understand if I want to get trips out of SAN I should pick the 737 correct? From reading the new contract the 737 SAN specific language was taken out, do I have that correct? Once I get senior enough and I want trips out of SAN should I choose 737 or 320. I see that there has not been any 737 LAX picks out of training. I know I can bid for LAX, just not sure of the timeline on when I could get there.

What are some good, SAFE and airport-commuting friendly places to live in around LA?
Is the Orange County (Irvine, Huntington Beach) or Long Beach/coastal Torrance feasible for someone working at the LAX base?
Starting in January and by the looks of the recent class drops LAX base starts to look like a likely scenario.
Thank you

Its called redfin.com. Everywhere in the southbay and orange county is expensive, including the ghetto. Most places are “safe”. Its your car you have to worry about in the less safe areas

+1 to this. However, any price correction in the more desirable parts of the LA basin will be temporary at best. Pricr corrections in CA coastal real estate tend to be a slowing of price appreciation, or maybe a temporary flat lining of prices. If any actual declines occur, they are short -lived. For anyone planning to live in the area long term, I'd advise buying. That said, as you pointed out, in certain CA metro areas (SF, LA,.SD), renting is indeed cheaper than buying, and CA rental laws are extremely favorable to tenants and hostile to landlords. So if the gentleman in question is thinking of staying in LA only a few years, then absolutely yes, renting makes more sense.

Be prepared for sticker shock, though. This is one of the most sought after places to live in the entire US and the prices reflect that. But when it's the middle of winter and the rest of the country is buried in "wintry mix" and you're at the beach sunning yourself in 70-degree weather, the traffic, high taxes, and high prices suddenly become more tolerable...
