I cant really think of a nice place within the city that I would feel comfortable living in. Rittenhouse is really expensive and too touristy. University City is still "West Philadelphia" no matter how you try to sugar coat it. A word to the wise, dont go up North Broad unless you wanna get shanked. South Street is a zoo, constant traffic flow going down with no parking anywhere, higher than 12th street it gets ghetto really quickly. You will find that alot in Philly, a real nice neighborhood, about 2 blocks from the ghetto. You cant keep the skeez out of your neighborhood. I think I covered North, East, West, and South.... Stick to the suburbs if you really need to be there.

Yes I do sir, that's why I'll instruct on the side (not in the airplane)...plus as I said I have some money I saved with time that I'm going to use for the first year living. I did my calculations. Obviously I'll try to avoid spending 1500 per month, that's the maximum I can budget.
So, how about this airport parking lot...is it really so dangerous to leave the car there? Is there any alternative to that?

Whenever I have to go into a sketchy area in uniform I remove the tie, epaulets and wings. You get mistaken for a missonary and people will actually walk away. I works even better if there are two of you

I think you're overestimating the free time of a new hire regional FO. Plus, if you're gonna work when not working it won't matter where you live. You won't have much time to socialize. Maybe find a roommate in GS or something. What kind of car are you planning on leaving in the employee lot?

As a new FO in PHL, you can expect to quickly hold a line and have 13-12 days off with about 90 hours a month. If you don't try for weekends off, you'll get a few blocks of 3-4 days off. Otherwise, expect 4 on, 2-3 off all month.
