No you need a SIDA badge given to you from the DTW airport authority and the initial paperwork you need to get from base management. So until you can get into the office you will need to park at regular airport parking. I used one of the parking lots that use either the yellow or red shuttles to the airport and got a airline discount and I bet you might be able to get reimbursed before you can get your SIDA badge. Go see or call base management and they can help you get started.

Airlines Parking offers crew rates and frequent shuttles, never had an issue with them.

It went the other way on 16-03, they had to revise the waived times downwards, as people withdrew. Not saying it's going to happen, but it has in the past now.

No you don't need a SIDA badge to park in DTW. You either have to have a SIDA badge or a parking lot paddle to swipe to get in. Ask mainline, they're loosing their SIDA badges in DTW as they expire, to be forced into the non-SIDA parking & bus.

Just did some quick looking for you, these would be your commute options to NYC.

You have about 14 flights a day to LGA and 4 a day to JFK from CLE.

MCO to JFK you have 14 flights a day, MCO to LGA you have 12.

Someone else can chime in to say that your odds would be rough, but between those four routes you have all the major airlines, plus JetBlue from Orlando. I would take those odds. If it makes you feel better, something crazy like 70% of us NYC based guys and gals are commuters. You're in good company.

We may start to need it. Glad to see the whole "Envoy looks slightly better oh my god the sky is falling here at 9E" movement ended in about 48 hours, but there are some things that really need to be improved here. I like the idea of the stipend for NYC based pilots someone mentioned a few pages back. Wouldn't mind the company paying for my crashpad.

Yeah, the "Dear god, they raised Envoy pay, we're all going to die" phase was amusing....

Thank you very much for that.
Endeavor is sounding more and more like a decent choice. I do have additional questions about Endeavor if anyone would care to entertain them. I know a few folks personally over at Skywest who genuinely seem happy there as far as commuter QOL etc. which seems remarkable given the negativity a lot of folks have about other places (you find people unhappy anywhere for anything, I get that). I don't personally know anybody at Endeavor positive or negative so it's a great unknown to me. About how many days off are folks getting a month, and is there a long call reserve option like Skywest has?

We don't have long call but if you are planning on NYC you might be on reserve a month.

I find for the most part people are happy here. You have a collection of individuals who are still sour from the merger/bankruptcy but most people will admit this is the best things have been in the history of the company.

I have been here almost exactly a year, on the Detroit 200. Before I pick anything up, I have been getting 17ish days off a month. October mock has me at 18.

That sounds good. Maybe a stupid question, but do a lot of those run in nice consecutive chunks? I've heard some regionals are terrible about that.
