good grief... what’s next to argue about? Shining your own shoes....having “perma-shine” shoes, or paying someone to do it?

The “iron-y” (pun intended) is you could pretty much buy a new one of those cheap M and H shirts after every use for what a lot of dry cleaners charge to clean them.

I generally do my own because, believe it or not, I can do a better job cleaning the collar with some “Shout”, some bleach, and a little elbow grease than most of the dry cleaners do. It seems that most of the time they leave at least a little brown residue...

Already washing white t-shirts. Throw uniform shirts in the same load and hang right out of the dryer. It’s not a big deal. The point was that most of us know the contract, but it or the company doesn’t control our “entire lives”. We simply don’t expense every item that we could since it isn’t worth the trouble and instead focus on our lives away from this outfit.

Anyway, this sure has drifted from a NYC base thread and I’m just as guilty for playing along.

So how do you sit reserve for EWR/LGA at the sometime it seems impossible! You would have to be sitting on the GWB to make it with the time allotted! Somebody must have figured this out!

This is a smart question and I can’t believe people are knocking you for trying to do some due diligence.

You have a set time for EWR. Everything else is reasonable. They mean it. ie if you live 2 hrs from EWR and it take 2.5 more from that point to LGA normally and there is construction then you are OK if you can’t get there for 5 hrs. Also your normal report time allows for exceptions due to traffic as well. Hope that helps.

I’m in the same boat, except on the opposite side of the Hudson. 30 miles east of JFK, can make it to LGA in 45-60 min, 90 with traffic. EWR is 1.5-2.5hrs depending on traffic. Waiting on a class date. Seems I should hope for the bus?

Both the Bus and the Guppy have about 25% of their flying out of LGA. Most people bid to avoid it so, once you can hold a line, you should be able to hold mostly LGA.

FNG’s... Read the f’in contract. A lot of money and effort went into creating it and it governs your entire life. Think maybe you should know what’s in it to avoid stupid questions like “should I be sitting on the GWB on reserve?”

Jeez! Trigger much?

Oh, that's gotta sting! remember the other thread?

I for one, like to welcome our new additions to the seniority list in a completely different fashion than you apparently. Especially when they're asking a valid question and trying to gain knowledge. Fortunately for him/her, some responses have been very helpful and beneficial. excluding yours.

"Jeebuz, trigger much"?!?!

Oooooh, that's gotta sting! Ring a bell from another thread?
