Default Team Newark

Just got the call from manpower planning and it looks like i am joining team newark. Looking for any advice on crashpads, preferably one that i won't get shot at everytime i go outside if that's possible. Also wondering how much flying i should be able to get while on reserve. Any how should be out there in about two to three weeks. I am starting OE in Cleveland on monday the 24th. Thanks for the advice!

I hear a hotel has a crashpad for 185 a month and 24 van service forgot the name but someone will have it for you soon. In Newark you won't sit reserve at all i had very few days that they did not call me and you can always pick up something in the aggresive pick up window. As far as getting shot your on your own keep your head down thats all i can say.

That's sounds good, do you know how many people you share the room with?

How long of a drive from EWR to JFK, that crashpad seems nice, I am jfk based, I live DRIVABLE distance BUT traffic is a huge deal and 195 seems great for maybe a night here or there

Welcome to Newark man, you're gonna love it here! You'll get used a lot on reserve, which shouldn't even last that long. Since I've been here (October), every single capt i've flown with has been awesome, and I already have a lot of good overnight stories (us newark crews are known for partying the most). As far as the crashpad situation, I can't really help cus I live here, but it seems like the safest neighborhood would be the Ironbound area of Newark. There's always Hoboken and Bayonne as well, very safe places. Just look in the crew room, you'll see ads posted everywhere for crashpads.

being a north jersey native, i consider the drive or train far. it will take at least an hour drive from ewr to jfk but the way traffic is especially once youve cross the bridge or tunnels expect bumper to bumper traffic. expect to spend about 20 dollars in tolls on each drive into new york.

Be careful of the trains by yourself.................my Dad got mugged last week, but the Port Authority saved the day....................." He was mugged by three dudes with a knife.............
