Everything I stated sarcastically is true, sadly.

I have never failed to make new family anywhere I have lived. I've lived in sheetholes and I've lived in rich snobvilles.
You move to a new place and meet a few *******s. Ok, it happens. You move to a new place and everyone's an *******? Guess what? You're the *******.

Who puts themselves out there more than positive vibed FA’s. I still don’t know where anyone gets that much energy. I’ve had multiple discussions with FA’s at my old airline, which I was MSP based, on “how do you make friends in MSP? I’ve never had this problem”. We’re talking about a different animal. We have cultural trust issues that stem back to our Scandinavian heritage.

DT St. Paul and Seventh Street West is a really good night out scene, especially during weekends the Wild are playing.
When I got back from college. 4 buddy’s and I rented out a house near Grand Ave (St. Paul). That was an awesome 2 years.

Also the state has a phenomenal spending budget (very disciplined) with the small amount of taxes you will contribute for the betterment of society. Check example #1 below:

Looking for some recent info
Hey guys , looking for a little insight on the day to day.
How is the flight deck environment, are most guys decent to fly with?
any guys recently through training? How is the training environment?
I’ve never worked PBS before, how hard is it to hold some weekend days off on reserve?
Any bases to try and avoid ?
Thanks for any heads up on the culture there
