NY is too expensive..i'm originally from the northeast..i've had enough of that..i have a crash pad

www.crashpads.com

$200-300 a month is the average...mid to lower 200's is more common (from what i've seen)

commuting sucks..especially from the left coast...what will be your commuting (from) airport?

I don't want to be a rumor starter or misrepresent what was said, as I was fairly nervous, but they talked a lot about trying to dump some the 200s and replace them with 700s in addition to the ones already scheduled for delivery.

Lots of crash pads on the board in ops at JFK but you can also look at crashpads.com

Well mostly SBP or I could use BFL. I am from BFL but my family is usually at their home in SBP.

I looked at crashpads.com and 200s is reasonable but I looked at the "definition of a crashpad" and it says that generally they should not be used more than 8 times a month, otherwise the individual should pay a full months rent.

So are you guys saying that it would be ok to get a "crashpad" and live there full time?

BAKO!!! I lived in Rosedale for ten years and flew out of Meadows and Fat as well as Delano. Commuting out of Bako sucks as you have to do the lax hop which is not easy.

I lived in riverlakes but moved off of brimhall a couple year ago. I moved from ther about aa year ago because the commute was to bad. Its a long one and if you are going to be in Jfk I wouldn't plan on being home too often. Who did you train with at meadows?

Me, my dad, and my brother all did it together with Randy. I am staying at my grandma's house right now she lives on the lake in riverlakes! and my parents just moved way out off stockdale past allen but they moved out of their house on the 17th green at riverlakes. What small world!

Yeah I know that would be a really long commute that's why I am looking for places in NYC. If I could make it back once a month or every other I'd be ok with that. I don't even think it would be possible to commute starting out as I'll be on reserve?

That's a new one to me. When I was JFK based (that's 5 weeks of my life I'll never get back) there were about 5 of us that would get called out once a week. So, it's a lot of sitting around at the pad and watching TV, sleeping, etc.
