Cool No parking or tip reimbursement, yet..

Followingdreams is correct….

They have tended to hand out raises, bonuses, and per diem increases incrementally, and both tip reimbursement and parking have been big asks on our pilot calls…. I wouldn’t be surprised to see this soon for us as the Company endeavors to catch up to some of our competitors, but not yet. Many of us park for free at friendly Signatures, Atlantics, etc., because of our Platinum status. I was lucky to park for free here for 3.5 years, before my local FBO decided to charge $140 per month last year and the airport only allows scheduled Part 121 Operators that fly in here to be able to park in Employee Parking.. It is actually cheaper to park in Long Term Parking, rather than pay the FBO to park, and long term parking is a shorter walk..

So this has become a big deal for me as well..
