You can drive through the departures drop off area and check in and then park. But I don’t see that helping much. If you’re parking in Chelsea you’re definitely going to have a gate agent call crew services looking for you before you can get back.

But if you do the drive through check in and then park in central parking you’ll probably be fine. That costs $35/day.
Thanks for the response definitely not planning on having to resort to the drive by checkin. Looking at a place 1:10 from Logan with no traffic. So I’m thinking 2.5 hours should be fine for most call outs. How long does it take on average to get from the lot in Chelsea to a random gate?

*last reserve question, I know this is the system bid thread*

If there are multiple effective dates will we be bidding on effective dates? Say I want Airbus CA but I don’t want to train in the summer can I bid a spring effective date? I’d imagine that’s how it would work but it’s not clear.
The A220 won’t be on this annual bid.

It depends what parking lot you get and if the bridge goes up. The employee garage I think can take anywhere from 15-45 minutes. Pre-flight parking is 15-30 minutes as they will usually divert to an alternate route if the bridge is up. I’m not an expert on the employee garage as I’ve never parked in it.

I’m usually able to get a strong enough signal to check-in inside the Central parking garage. Seems the higher you are the better (Level 4 and up maybe)

Take a look to see how close you live in relation to one of the Logan Express stops. Everytime you drive to Chelsea to do a useless day trip on reserve, you’re losing money with gas & tolls.

I also just call and say I’m here but iPad won’t work. They have never asked me to go to the phones in the crew room.

According to Chief Hocking a few weeks ago, he said they won’t and they will have to run a supplement bid.

We are getting (maybe) 1 A220 next year.
