This is it.... right here. And understandably why there are 'c'aptains at CAL and Captains at UAL. Disappointing.
CAL 'c'aptains call the hotel and make sure the van is on the way... multiple calls if needed...
UAL Captains wait 30m, no van, get a cab, expense it. Result: van is there waiting. Regardless, 30m after block in, UAL pilots are driving to the hotel, one way or the other.
What is interesting is the CAL pilots complain like bad a** tough guys, but when it comes to action.... well....
EWR CPO attitude towards pilots: I guess if we can trust you to fly the jets we can trust you on dry cleaning expenses.
