Anybody commuting out of Tampa? I’ll be IND based to start out but if there’s somewhere with a shorter reserve that’s easier to get to I’m all for it.

Its $10 more a month but faster for me since I'm north of mco and the shuttle is fast. Either works. I am ewr based and at republic was lga based. Never had trouble commuting. Jet blue is the best to jumpseat on.

That sounds great! How many days do you have to park there? I did the math, if I work 15 days a month I'd have to pay at least $105. That would be a lot more than the $40 advertised by another post up there.

Its 50 per month unlimited days at park bark and fly. 40 at the south lot.

Im not an MCO commuter, but frequently skip deadheads out of MCO back to base, to go home to CMH instead. Southwest is 3 times a day now and Spirit has a daily evening flight. Not a lot of jumpseat competition, except when there is a pilot job fair in the area.

Philadelphia is a million times easier as there are 8-9 direct flights per day. The easiest commute seems like it would be to Newark because there's over 10 direct flights per day. If you plan on commuting out of Orlando, I would avoid bidding for CMH, IND, MCI or PIT. Any other Republic bases wouldn't be too bad.

Any idea what the commute from MCO to DCA would look like?? I would also be commuting from MCO and I'm looking to get DCA as my base out of training. the other option would me TPA. I'm in lakeland so im right in between both.

Passrider.com has fairly accurate schedules. Search for your city pair and pick a random day, and see what the schedules look like.
