I ended up paying for parking at a hotel. Cheapest I could find. It's the little things like this that they dont tell you about when starting this job.

If that’s your biggest surprise hang around a bit. More is coming. Also you probably should have know your would have to pay to park at the airport.

In order to come to work? No not really man. I dont stand in long lines at most airports for security when I show up for work now do I? Dont pay for plane tickets either when I commute or even if I'm vacationing alone.

barely... doesn’t it only cover $40 bucks worth of parking that’s about 1 trips worth in any big city.

Yeah contract says up to whatever they are paying at your domicile, so I have no clue what that actually is in places like DFW, might be enough if you live out in the sticks though. But some is better then none. Not as good as all though.

*in order to live out of base. You wouldn’t have to pay to go work if you lived in base. Not trying to bash commuters but it’s not the company’s problem you don’t park where they have obtained parking for you.

I agree with what you said. If it wasn't for COVID-19 I would live in base sooner than later. No sense in doing it now if I'm gonna get furloughed.

Sorry for your (most of ours now....) situation! Just wanted to offer some perspective.
