I haven't figured out the parking part yet myself. Hopefully someone else can chime in.
Your assigned a base in training, then you can bid for whatever base you want. Except for a few exceptions you can get most bases on your first bid.

Parking is paid up to what would be paid at the base you are assigned, you need to submit parking receipts to get reimbursed up to that amount. If it would cost Republic $100 a month to get you employee parking at the base you are assigned, and it costs you $200 a month to park at the base you commute from, you get $100. If it costs you $50, you get $50.
Looking at class assignments is a pointless exercise as it constantly changes and most of those people end up getting to the base they want by the end of IOE any way. That's why I stopped posting/commenting on them long ago.

Even with those bases, every once in a while very junior FOs have been able to hold it. Both have been open for more then a year, and the initial rush of jr. FOs that bid and transferred to those bases are now upgrading to CA, leaving more openings.

Does EWR have commuteable trips? I know the outstations are typically less commuter friendly.

Since no one else replied, I'll give it a shot. Not a commuter, junior-ish line holder.
Seems to me (looking at my schedule), a lot of trips are commutable on one end, meaning they start late morning or early afternoon.
My earliest show time in April is 12 noon. Most of the trips I've been getting that start late also end late(ish) 9pm-11pm. So you might be able to look at schedules between where you would be commuting from and EWR.
Having said that, a LOT of the Captains that I've been flying with commute and make it work without too much stress. (drop a turn at the end of the trip or something similar to make both ends commutable.)
