I'm not sure you understand what the word "literally" means. The LGA crew room's biggest issue is the size. It's plenty comfortable with some nice chairs, you just have to get one. Plus the sleep room is also filled with comfortable chairs.

Hoping to join the team, interview is tomorrow morning!

Starting training here shortly, has anyone who's been through it brought their own car? Or does anyone from NYC know a good place to store one? Shuttle is provided for training/grocery runs but I'm wondering how practical that is. Despite telling the hotel desk what I was there for, the shuttle for my interview refused to leave on time, had to get a taxi. Also, is the extended stay hotel anywhere near the metro?

Pretty much anywhere you "need" to go is walking distance from walmart, the grocery store, and a few restaurants. The hotel shuttle will take you to the light rail which will take you downtown. Shuttle will also take you to work/airport. Taking a car from NYC seems silly, you really don't need one and a few of your classmates will have cars anyhow. Good luck! Great training department.

Good luck! Interview team is great, really felt at ease.

Honestly just save yourself the money and leave your car at home. The shuttle service is not great but it does the job. Also if you have any issues at the hotel let the person know who's setting up all the reservations, that way they can get it sorted out for future classes. A couple of people also had issues with the hotel taking them to HQ on weekends to work with some of the resources there during systems.

Unfortunately you might as well get used to shuttle times not being what you need for your report times. Most places don't care what time you need to be to the airport (or when you arrive). They run on their set schedule not yours. They don't care that you have to leave half an hour early because they won't adjust 5 minutes the other way.

This statement is not true. Hotel is responsible to provide transportation to arrive at the GATE at your show time. If you feel that they are not doing this you can discuss it with them. If they are inflexible with the van time as mentioned above you can call scheduling and they will arrange transportation for you. Remember as you fly the line at Endeavor or anywhere else there is usually an easy way to resolve issues rather than doing nothing and complaining about it later. Another good habit it be in is check the flight before you leave in the morning and make sure its not delayed. Scheduling would call you if they had the bandwidth for that but they don't. If you see a delay call scheduling to have your show time moved. Being proactive will make life easier, sitting around complaining that other people didn't do their job (Scheduling didn't call me and tell me about delay) will only raise your stress level.

Actually your statement isn't entirely true. Hotels most the time will not rearrange their shuttle time to accommodate your show time. Other airline crews stay at the same hotels so It's not that easy to switch van times. Just go early and grab a cup of joe.
