Default How far to live from JFK on reserve?

Keep in mind, that check-in on our JETCRW app is geolocated, and if you plan on using company-paid parking at long term parking in lot 9, factor in up to another 30 minutes. We have a shuttle that runs from the lot to T5 every 30 minutes. And if you plan it right you can go from parking your car to walking into the terminal in 5 minutes. Miss that shuttle 1 minute, next airtrain may not be for 10 minutes, and those take 15-20 to get to T5. That 2hr commute just turned into 2:30. I’ve never had to call them and tell them I’m gonna be late so I can’t attest to getting dinged or not if your miss check-in. I live 0:30-1:30 east of JFK depending on traffic, and I’ve been given min callout once in 5 months on reserve. Your mileage may vary. Sometimes during day-trips if I’m gonna hit rush hour traffic I’ll go straight to the short term garage across from T5 and just walk over. But anything more than a daytrip and it gets veeeeery expensive.
