Has nothing to do with Co-base or Co-domicile.

Has everything to do with it being NYC!

Good traffic day JFK area to LGA can take 35-45 mins terminal to terminal if you go the wrong way or take the wrong exit, add 15 minutes. JFK-LGA takes 1hr in heavy traffic if driving.

I don’t know how your pilot group is accepting a 2hr call out in Notorious NYC, where public transport can take 2hrs to get somewhere only 3 miles away.

Don’t drink the cool-aid, has nothing to do with Endeavor or Envoy having JFK & LGA base and y’all having just LGA. Smh!

I challenge you to find out what Republic has for Rsv call out at LGA, they don’t have JFK Co-base. maybe you’ll get my drift.
A few times it’s taken me 1.5 to get from the employee parking lot to the terminal. It can’t be walked safely.

I agree. Parking lot, its one of many contingencies to be dealt with if based in LGA. LGA is far from SGU. Hope it works out well for the unsuspecting folks. Rsv should be less hellish.

It’s “kool-aid” brah and I don’t drink it. I’m just stating the facts. We get 2 hours, whether that’s enough or not for the OP to make it from wherever he is crashing is beyond me.
And your challenge, well, Whatevs !

Been a 2-hour callout in LAX and SFO for years. Seems to be mostly working.

I ended up going with a pad in kew gardens. No other way. CT to LGA is impossible with mass transit in 2 hours.

Can't believe how complicated getting to work is. Why did I choose this career.....

I'll have to look into that, thanks. My career could use some upward movement.

You could always live full-time in the sweet, cool comfort of our quiet room in LGA. They even have blankets!

I've been casing out this bridge behind Jamaica Ave, near the subway station. Seems to have minimal garbage smell and short walk to the local soup kitchen.

It's not the Hilton but it fits my budget.
