Probably not, unless you can find a a rent controlled apartment or share an apartment.
2 :
Many flight attendants used to live in the Kew Gardens area in shared apartments. This is a short bus ride to Kennedy Airport and also convenient to La Guardia. I don't know if they still have this situation, however.
3 :
I live in Kew Gardens and know that many airlines own apartments in the area and help flight attendants and pilots find shares. Kew Gardens is approximately 10 minutes from JFK and 12 minutes from LaGuardia, and along with the airline shuttles for their workers, there is also public transportation that stops in the area. Its really a very nice area and the apartments are a decent size.

Employment eligibility verification is a federal requirement. That is, there are no specific residency requirements to work in NYC (other than some jobs working for the city, like NYPD or FDNY) that don't exist anywhere else in the US. The federal requirements are completely different than those for something like a NYS drivers license. Verification requirements are specified on the Department of Homeland Security's form I-9 which you'll fill out and which your employer must keep on file. You need documents that establish both your identity and your employment eligibility. Some documents do both, like a US passport, or a form I-766 Employment Authorization Document. If you have one of those ("List A" on the I-9 form), it's all you need. In other cases you need two different documents, one will establish your identity and the other your eligibility. For example, a drivers license (identity) and a Social Security card (eligibility)... one document from "List B" and one from "List C". It can get a little complicated, but the requirements and the types of documents that can satisfy them are at the end of this online form I-9: http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-9.pdf

You will have to file a state return for Connecticut (if they have one) you will have to file a non resident state tax for New york. Be sure it is non resident. you can also look up each state on the Internet they can help. EX New York department of revenue
2 :
Exactly like the other person said- you will file a Full year resident income tax form for CT and a non resident income tax form for NY - however - you will be able to take a credit on your CT tax form for the taxes you pay in NY so that you will not be paying double taxes. If in doubt about this - come tax time take your taxes to H&R Block. But when I had a similiar situation with RI and CT, I was able to download all forms and books right from the websites and do the taxes myself. Its a bit aggravating though..and even though you do get the credit back from NY towards CT..its still means you are paying more taxes than if you just worked and lived in one state.
