I will say that the company provided hotels are plenty if you can hold a line. For reserves though, they re just occasional relief from your crashpad.

Nothing like a shameless house for a crashpad. Brought a tear to my eye when my crashpad in LGA burned down.

Look up First Class Crashpads specifically the Brownstone. I hate sharing space with people but I highly enjoyed it. About 8 minute walk from the Jefferson Park station. Nevertheless, don’t know much about the AAG regional group but hope the best for all of you through all this.

What’s the call out for ready reserve and how long does it take to get from the employee parking to the terminal?

This goes back to summer of 2017 but when I was there, you were better off with a crashpad than the 4 commuter hotels and the so called cheap hotels by a pretty good margin.

I don’t personally drive, but the few people I know who do hate it. It can take a 25 minutes or it can take an hour and 25 minutes. There’s also a set of train tracks that I’ve been told can be a real pain in the ass. Ready reserve does not have an exact time, but I’d say from call out to show they expect you there within 15-30 minutes. I haven’t been on reserve in a long time, but I did get called a few times while seeing friends on the far UA gates and it was never a problem get back over.

Maybe I’m thinking of shortfall reserve. The one where you are not waiting at the airport.

It's 2 hours or MA regardless of circumstances.

Parking to terminal between 20 minutes and 1.5 hours at ORD depending on the buses which are notoriously unreliable.
