I don’t disagree with that, but the company really isn’t disregarding the CBA. As pointed out, it states when the company MUST provide hotels. It doesn’t restrict them from doing it at other times and there’s nothing that says they CAN’T provide hotels in domicile. Hypothetical scenario… A pilot has two back to back trips with 11 hours rest in between. It’s the middle of winter, it’s a snowstorm and the pilot can’t drive home after completing the first trip. He asks if it’s possible for company to provide a hotel in domicile due to the circumstances and the company honors the request. This is a violation and needs to be grieved? In fact, that’s no hypothetical. Hasn’t the company in the past provided in domicile hotels during IROPs upon pilot request?
I’ve filed my share of grievances when it’s necessary, but this is just trying to pick a fight that isn’t there based on contract language IMO. We can agree to disagree.
