You also have more time to get to the satellite airports when assigned a trip from short-call reserve. You'd have 2:30 to get to LAX for a SC assignment but there is no specified time for the satellites. It just has to be reasonable.

I sat reserve 2008-2010 in LAX as UAL’s most Jr. 320 Capt. SNA isn’t the end of the world but ONT or BUR are a friggin hike and a pricy one from the LAX area. I remember dropping $100+ one morning on a 0200 short call for a 0600 go. The only option that time of the morning was a taxi. I was sitting in an LAX hotel when the call came in.
Super Shuttle was your savior back then. It was like $35.00 for a LAX to SNA but they only ran certain hours. Now days Uber/Lyft would make all of the LAX airports much easier.

Logic would agree with this, but the reality is pretty irritating. LAX doesn’t allow Lyft and Uber to pick you up at the terminal. You now have to go to a special lot and ATTEMPT to get a ride. Once you submit your request on the ride-share app, nobody will show up unless you sign up for the “high-end” options. You want a $20 Uber for a 15-minute ride? Nope. Your only choice is going to be a $60 Uber Black. Ride-share at LAX is now the same as a taxi, except for the licensing and vetting that goes along with it.

We get cross town pay. I’d have to look it up but yes you are correct.

I haven't checked on rental car prices but it may be cheaper for an out of town reserve to just do a one way rental than Uber it.
I'll guess the only equipment we have scheduled to fly in/out of BUR are buses.
Crosstown pay is variable, depending on which airport you're going to. SJC paid around $50 for those of us based in SFO.
