Jersey City is Ok but if you have a car I would try some of the suburbs like Linden, Rahway, Roselle Park etc.

Do you know of any pilots who live in EWR and whats it like say in Jersey City for eg. Just about to start class in STL.

I live in jersey city (JC) and work out of EWR. JC to ewr doesnt have the best public transport route, you have to take a subway to newark penn station and then ride a bus from penn to the airport which can be an hour and half depending on bus schedule. Driving is only 15 min or so and G7 will provide EWR parking if it is your base. Overall JC is a really nice and upcoming place to live, and doesnt have the NYC prices (yet). Theres also Hoboken right above JC which is also relatively affordable, but slightly longer commute. A lyft will typically cost you about 25$ to/from JC and EWR.
depending on your personality and financial capacity, id highly recommend living closer to NYC than living closer to EWR as there is by far way more interesting things to do in NYC area, and its a bit more safe than the industrial area surrounding EWR. But if money is a high consideration I believe the further you go from NYC the more the price drops. Hope this helps

So If you could live closer to NYC, away from JC and the industrial area...where would you suggest ? There's a bunch of us all about to head over there so any info is great info. And thanks again.

Closer to NYC and away from JC is the wrong direction from EWR. Thatd be me telling you to live in Queens or Brooklyn. The industrial area surrounds EWR but stop just outside JC. So to clarify, I DO recommend living either in JC or Hoboken- as both are close to NYC (just across the Hudson) but do not have NYC prices and are fairly nice neighborhoods to live in.
That all being said I am relatively new to the area and am by no means a North New Jersey real estate guide, but in my humble opinion youll enjoy living east of EWR more than any of the other cardinal directions. Happy to provide more info about JC for any who are interested.

How about this for information for new hires. Find any place else to work but here. Unless you want your vacations canceled with no warning multiple times a year, delayed bids when ever they feel like getting around to it, junior Manning people on Guaranteed days off, the list goes on. Go work somewhere else where you will only get marginally abused.

That should be enough of a swing to either make companies like GoJet get better, or put them out of business for good.
