EWR-LGA-EWR FA Van
 
Do any of you remember where to find the information for the EWR-LGA-EWR shuttle service the FA’s use? Have any of you had any complications using it?

Use it yesterday at 5:00 am . I was the only one on it . Have used it prob a dozen times (dozen times too many ) however I have never had an issue and it’s never even been half full for when I’ve jumped on.

Have heard some horror stories but I think much of that is in the past as some clarification has been brought to the attention of the FA’s and the shuttle drivers . I do have a picture of the schedule but don’t know how to post it . Send me a PM with your number and I ll tex it to you if you like .

I have taken it twice. Two nice FAs on the bus. I took care of their tip. They joked with me when we got on but we got along. I could see a grand ole cat herder giving you the stink eye, whatever!

Have used it a bunch of times. The schedule and pickups are spot on. Once, another set of pilots we kind of rude, so I can see where the animosity can come from...overall never an issue and a nice hookup to have.

Where is the pickup point from LGA? I have the schedule, but don't know where to go and of course there are no Fa's around...

Go out the ticket counter level and across the street to the second island under the United/America signs and look for the Golden Touch van.
I just used it today and had 3 other FAs onboard. They were friendly and I made sure to tell them that we appreciate all that they do for us and that the tip was on me.

The van driver was a bit confused when I tipped her a $20.... you guys really need to tip better!!!

And you need to back off a little on the virtue signaling.

Huh? A free ride to get across town... and I show a little appreciation for it...
Do keep in mind we (as pilots) get a little something for the inconvenience, whereas the FAs do not....or At least to the level we do... but then again I may have been “duped” by the 3 FAs,... but really it was about the safe and efficient ride that I got from point A to point B , So ya, I felt the driver needed to be rewarded for it.

For $22 you could have taken the train and gotten there faster. :)
