Thanks for providing facts.

The Mafia is alive and well!!! I’ve seen HKG trips that are SFO trip numbers get switched to EWR trip numbers. There are pilots that have access that the rest of us do not. I hope all of those pilots get found out and get fired because it’s theft!!!

But the contract doesn't say a line holder CAN'T. I know it says a reserve can....but it doesn't say a SRM or PPU can't???

If they ask a lineholder to be there in less than 2 1/2 just ask for them to put a note on the pairing that parking is authorized and use a screenshot of that in the Concur submission.

Maybe just level the playing field.

How do the rest of us get this access?

Thanks for that info.

I was told by a scheduler that ALPA strictly prohibits this. Is there a contract reference. The scheduler told me an ALPA rep was on the floor one day and overheard a scheduler authorize airport parking and the ALPA rep didn't like it and "educated" the scheduler.

Well, ok then. Hadn’t heard that one.

I saw it for a ORD HKG trip, 50%, then 75% then 100% in less than 10 minutes, an EWR FO got it. Who passes up 50% for a HGK? Waiting and knowing it will go to 100% in a matter of minutes?
