Yeah, but then again, people have this issue because they choose to not live in base (for whatever reason). That REALLY adds to the $$$. Most people who work regular $50K 9-5 jobs would probably never consider the idea of having to pay rent at two places. That's the key point that everyone's missing. I moved in my '88 Honda Prelude from ND to MI to avoid having to pay rent twice with an apt and crashpad on the side. I live in base and that really helps out w/ the costs which commuters face all the time. (again, I realize it's not as easy as it sounds since some people do have families and would find it impossible to move). Then again, if you have a family, this 1st year FO pay thing is ridiculous. I don't think I would have ever done this career if I had a wife and kids. I love flying but I'd love my family first.
Where'd you move to in Michigan?
