LGA - Employee parking or Metro North
Curious if anyone of you can shed some light. Will be interviewing soon and am looking at LGA. I live in CT so my options are driving down or Metro North.
Anybody familiar with if there is employee parking and how that works or costs? Thanks.

For Endeavor we park in the lot behind the Marine Air Terminal. Bus picks up every 15 mins on a 0/15/30/45 schedule and takes 10-15 mins to get directly to the Delta terminals now that they opened some new roadways. Probably budget a bit longer during the afternoons especially M/Th/Fr but it’s nothing like how it once was. Much better than what we deal with at JFK.
Lots of our pilots live in the Stamford/Bridgeport area and can easily make our 2:30 callout to either airport. Not sure what skywest’s callout is.

Metro north will be a lot more expensive, even considering the toll you pay to cross the Whitestone bridge.

You'll probably end up doing a little of both. Not sure how the drive is across the bridges during rush hour, but it might be a little tight to make a two hour call out for reserve. Keep in mind that you won't be doing the commute every day and once you are a line holder you probably make the drive/train ride twice a week on average. So maybe taking MN would be better if you are coming during rush hour. But dragging your bags onto the M60 or the 7 train isn't all that fun either. But yes, SkyWest will provide parking over by the Marine Air Terminal.

Im from CT and I can tell you metronorth on reserve is not viable, especially if you live anywhere north of Stamford. Not to mention it's unbelievably expensive.
You're in Danbury, so you'll have to take the connecting line through south norwalk. Call than an hour. Then another 1-1.3 hours to GCT.
Just not possible unless you have a 4 hour call out.
