Don't forget that the 5hr. sit must be a scheduled sit in order to qualify, good luck fighting that battle. Been there, done that... The beatings will continue until morale improves!
This is the same everywhere. Just went through the same thing. Plane down for MX waited for 5 hours for a replacement to be flown in. This is not a scheduled situation so no hotel was assigned. Sat in the crew room for the duration...
