EWR &HPN are both bases we do not report to but have limos going to and from frequently (DH pay).
How does parking work? Do we get employee parking at LGA also? I'm wondering how I'm going to get there if I ever get LGA. I'm a new hire JFK based and live in NY

There is parking provided for pilots/LGA trips. If you drive in you park at the Holiday Inn LGA which has JB pilot parking spots reserved in their garage, then take their shuttle to the terminal. It runs every :20 starting at the top of the hour.

As an FYI the LGA parking arrangement is sub par. The parking spaces downstairs are illegally spaced far to close to each other which resulted in a couple pilots having their cars damaged. The van often takes a while for pickup which is exacerbated by the current LGA traffic situation. There is a new regime in the JFK chief pilots office that seems more committed to sorting the mess out and providing a better solution... fingers crossed but don't hold your breath. If you have a car larger then a midsize, heck larger then a compact park up stairs even though we are supposed to park down.

and you can submit $14 expense (each) for starting and ending in LGA. so if a trip starts and ends in LGA, you submit an expense report (no receipts needed) for $28, and they put the money in your bank account.

I've been on reserve in boston for three years. Live 50 minutes from the garage with no traffic. I have no complaints at all. My kids are not sure I even have a job
