At least you aren't one of the FOs who were forced to upgrade to CA, then given SCR in Norfolk. It was considered voluntary, so no allowances were given. So you're stuck commuting to reserve, and no per diem or hotels.

QOL for those who have lives and families in other cities could hardly get much worse. Especially if they live somewhere that is not a hub city. Then it's a two leg commute to reserve!

Adding insult to injury, your ($250) commuter hotel allowance cannot be applied to a crash pad that you so badly need...

I thought that anytime you changed bases you got hotels and 24/7 per diem before your RLDs. Is that not the case?

That is correct. However that covers only one month but there are ways to keep switching bases to get numerous RLDs.
Now if you were senior FO who lived in base and now you're forced to be CA on SCR in a base you don't live at, that's a poor situation.

Anyone know who I need to talk or the process of getting a parking pass for a base that you aren't based in? I live in ORF but I have to commute to DAY until August. If not, does to company reimburse parking expenses??? Thanks..

Might be the local parking authority. I pay $50/month to them to park in the airport parking lot so I can commute to CLT. Had to bring a letter verifying that I worked for an airline.

No parking pass from the company since I’ll be based there?

I believe he is based in DAY but has to park in ORF where he lives. Not sure if he has a car in DAY and if so, if they only pay for one airport and if it has to be your domicile. I just know that I live in a non hub city and had to pay the local airport parking authority to park there as the company would only give me a pass for CLT.

Did they tell you how the parking works in ORF? I’ve sent 2 emails with no response. They sure can email us when they need something but when we do, not a peep.
