At my regional, we are allowed to do out-of-base reserve very easily. As someone who is hoping for PHL but knows PHX/LAS is the hot assignment out of training for at least a month, is there any possibility of doing out of base reserve in PHL even though technically being LAS/PHX based?
Along those lines, can IOE be scheduled out of any base?
Thanks in advance.

I believe you'll keep getting the $36, but turn it in now. It's not worth having missed that window because life gets in the way somehow. You'd have to transfer out of your base, and then back in to get parking again. It's so stupid, but that's the way it is. Also coordinate a couple weeks ahead with your base chief so things go smoothly. These applications have to go through airport beaurocracy which varies widely across the country.

Yeah I remember your suggestion to do it early or else risk losing the parking election. I’m fine with just getting the $36 for now, letting it accrue for 3-4 months will more than offset whatever commuting I might have to do that first month, since I just got my transfer back home. Just checking I wouldn’t miss out on the parking reimbursement in the meantime if I elected April parking right now. Thanks.

The date for submitting your parking election is on the VSA award in Flica. You can call you base CP to ask if you would still get the $36 if you sent in you election now - which I believe you would not. You haven't changed bases yet so why would you lose the stipend...

Every time we open a new domicile we seem to shrink one or two others a bit to feed the new one. So unfortunately you can probably expect to see some of that. Not sure what base they are likely to do that with this time. As far as the seniority of Dallas goes, I think it'll be similar to all the other non Denver bases. The top 25% will be pretty darn senior and the bottom 75% will be junior.
Which bases are likely to shrink to feed DFW: my guess is primarily Vegas and maybe a little DEN. Vegas has grown significantly in the past year so maybe they feel they can do that? I think the first bid for DFW should show up in a month or two.
