Anything we get is nice. The previously provided shuttle was a $700,000/year contract, and it kinda sucked IMO. I’ve used Golden Touch for four years at other places and never liked them. Any company saying, “Hey, we know NY sucks, so here’s $50 to get to/from work/crash pad” seems cool to me....

Well, we are pilots.

So?
The company still deadheads crews when they start and end at opposite airports. This doesn’t affect that.

I used the MTA for several months when I was on winter reserve in Kew because the shuttle schedule sucked. $50 would have gone a lot further for me on reserve than the shuttle ever did.

I now often use the MTA to get between LGA and JFK for the same reason. I'll take the $50 over the ride that rarely aligns well with my commute.

For those who are saying "I'll never ride a bus", stop. I'm not happy that this isn't a Lyft account or an hourly shuttle, either. That being said, we should like babies when we say sh*t like that.

Remember when we were sold codomicile with the TA, we were promised a corporate Uber or Lyft account. That's a legit reason to complain.

Exactly. Lots of People had their crashpads near the purple bus route near LGA or in South Ozone near JFK.

It is, and I agree. When we complain about having to ride the bus because we were promised Lyft and then sold down the river by the MEC, then we sound like we have a legit problem.

When we complain about having to ride the bus because it's public transportation, though, then we sound out of touch. That won't earn us sympathy from anyone.
