If you guys are having issues with hotels - have tracking put you in a new one. Have a spine.
Been down that road, wasn't worth the stress the CO puts on you afterwards.
Arrived in AUS late, was already down to min rest, another crew took our van down to "Boo-Daa" hotel refused us a cab. Ct supvr refused to book another hotel. We waited 1 1/2 hours for van. Got to hotel 30mins later, after the driver "took a shortcut".
Called CT and advised them we were gonna show late due to rest issue. I Was told by supvr that I'd be marked tardy.
Next day, my hotel and cell phones are Blowin up with "where are you guys?"
CT gives us all TRD (Tardy) we get re crewed on the rest of the trip. Later, I get called to cp office, I explain everything, and I'm told to fill out occur report.
CP didn't back me and I Still have that TRD on my record.
