I was reading about Travel Benefits for regionals in another Thread.

Can someone explain a bit about the Eagles Travel benefits, domestic & international, do we have to wait for an X amount of time with company, etc etc....

Are Eagle's travel & Non REV benefits better than other regionals.

thanks for the help guys, today has pushed us to look toward one bedrooms with large storage space/sq ft, seems like we might find something we like between 1000 and 1100 all said in done, hopefully we have some winners, also they are right next to the saw grass, so the drive should be easy. Next I will be asking everyone the secret ways to cut down to MIA from up here =)!

Rick, my wife and I lived in West Kendall, just north of Kendall-Tamiami airport. We payed $900 a month for two bed and bath townhouse. Although that was late nineties. Good luck.

thanks for the help, we are going home in the morning unhappy. I think we have to come down yet again, and look south this time too. We just are not happy with what we get for the money, I thought being near NYC was expensive, but this sucks even more overall. Its like being in a crumhole or pay out the arse, or be REALLY far. At this point I could stay driving in/out nyc for the same overall value, I should have bid DFW haha.

From what I hear from my friends in DFW you can get a nice 2br in a nice neighbor within 30 min of DFW for UNDER 1000/mo. In MIA you can get that 1hr from MIA for 1200/mo at LEAST. If your willing to live somewhere with bars on the window, you can get that within 30 min of MIA, just dont expect to see your car in the driveway when you leave for work.

Word to the wise:

Most people's definiton of nice is far from reality. I live in Dallas and most areas around DFW I wouldn't feel safe pumping gas in my car at night. I live 30 minutes from D/FW and pay 1,200/month for an upscale 2 bedroom/2 bathroom.

I recently had to move from where I used to pay $900/month for the same square footage because the area took a nose dive. So it's not as great around here as some would make it seem.

Dallas is getting just as expensive as anywhere else unless you want to live in an undesirable area.

Bingo, someone gets it! You can have a thousand people come in below you, but if nobody moves out above you, you do not move up.

That's not there anymore, you need 3000 hours TT.

Ah got it, I was thinking where they hire to coincides with where they need more pilots due to upgrades/transfers but I guess not always the case. Of course there being less lines the past couple months hasn't really helped
