Thats the other kick in the nuts. The crew rooms at LGA and EWR are sorely lacking. JFK is OK. Email your rep, I did

Anyone use the 3:15am FA shuttle from LGA to EWR?

Never used it. I heard it was 02:30 but either way it's just too dam early. Most of us Eaglets commute from DFW or ORD so it's like a 12:30 AM wake up for our body to make that van. It's either basically stay up all night and be exhausted or go over the night before and get a hotel. The other option which is almost the same price is take an Uber direct that morning but is still around $150. If you're assigned one of those you will have plenty of time the night before to get over there. They do have recliners in the EWR crew room but people are coming and going all night and the recliners are hard wood arm rest. Extremely uncomfortable.

You're not responsible to do so.... But it's understood that you would want to preclude having to get an extension. The CP office can help, and they will help you coordinate with CS to get you on a reserve assignment, or buy someone's trip....but if you call, do NOT ask for "proficiency flying." While that is a valid technique, it will NOT increase your GTD in the reserve pool. You will literally be flying for free.

How far from the consolidation deadline can you start asking for a trip?

You can email them anytime and start putting the bug in their ear.
I didn’t consolidate on the 76 and went to a requal. It wasn’t a big deal as I live close to the GSW and I actually liked the refresher. Going through an R9 with 30 hours in type wasn’t ideal but not difficult.
I’m a month into my new consolidation period with exactly 3 hours. I’ll probably start bugging the flight office 2 months out of this awesome trend continues. First world WB problems

Ugh I’m jealous. My landings count has been pegged at 250 the last 4 years.
