Don't stress about LGA at all. You live within 2.5 hours of EWR under normal traffic, last minute assignments are pretty rare, and if the stars align to jam you up you just articulate your situation to a very understanding chief pilots office. I think you will be off reserve relatively quickly if hired in this next push but I would still bid 737 for less LGA(better/more productive) trips vs the bus. Congrats on the offers! If the other offer involves a JFK base I would weigh that drive, parking shuttle time, and sheer stupidity of the belt parkway against a mindless drive up the turnpike. EWR is 10 min parking lot to security and JFK was 30 min from lefferts. Over a career that time driving, tolls, waiting for a shuttle bus... will add up.

For most of us the UPA or UAL don’t govern our entire lives. This is just what we do for income and everything else is what matters and governs our life decisions. Most of us have a pretty good understanding of what’s in the contract but don’t care about every little detail. I’m not going to dry clean shirts rather than throw them in the wash, expense meals that I seldom eat, etc. It’s just jot worth spending $5 effort to get $2.50 out of the company. The original post just asked a simple question. No need to sound like a bitter old man or even worse the shriveled piece of his anatomy.

They can have you sit FSB at one of the co terminals, they just have to tell you at the time of the assignment. Rare but it can happen.

You don’t dry clean your uniforms? Fascinating. You must look like a real pro walking thru the terminal.

How do you get that conclusion out of his message? He probably has shirts that can be laundered either way, and chooses the washer in his house, just like I do for mine. While he could save the $1 in water, electric, and detergent to have the company pay for dry cleaning, he elects not to for simplicity. How was that difficult to infer?

Wrinkle free a cut aboves. No need to iron if you hang them right away. Look way better than the issued clown outfit uniform. Don’t wrinkle in my suit case, and the fit is proper. Sure, I didn’t have to spend the $30 per shirt, but I wanted to look better than how I looked with what the company gave me. I save time and gas money by visiting the dry cleaner less too.
