If not, I’ll start deducting into the FSA for commuter parking. Right now I’m in the conundrum where LAS is a 5hr drive or 1hr flight, which is why I’m hoping I get PHX this next cycle and maybe don’t have to deal with the commute more than a month.

That LAS parking sounds ridiculous, but unfortunately not a stranger to that after dealing with PHX parking for years. Using exclusive employee lots, which are never even remotely near limits, they just decided (out of the blue) to start issuing fines for parking more than 4 days. God forbid you get extended to a day off on a 4 day; called out on a 5-6 day out of base reserve assignment; etc. It was a whole thing for a while, to the point where company legal said don’t even reply to them, we’ll handle it. They ran home like a schoolyard bully, still having to get the last word and emphasizing the looming threat of fine/tow. They even went so far as to say being gone while attending recurrent wasn’t “directly supporting the blah blah blah business of Sky Harbor” so watch out. I’d see them out there all the time. Crawling around to read plates of cars that back into spots, and also ripping the car covers off (the ones people put to keep the sun, rain, and dust off their cars esp in the summer) to check plates, lazily leaving them to flap around attached to one bumper. Terrible parking office.
