So rather than not have a reservation and potentially screw my sim partner and mess up the whole flow of things I made my own reservation.
If it somehow gets resolved I can cancel. Just frustrating to fall through the cracks and not be able to resolve it.
So... just some advice. Now that you're in the big leagues, make sure to check ALL of your hotel reservations
beforehand. Whether that be for training, OE trips, line trips, or whatever.
DON"T WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE TO CHECK AND SEE WHEN/IF YOU'RE BOOKED. Especially on a busy XMAS holiday weekend where nobody is in, and nobody can help you till Monday. And if you don't know you ask! Crew scheduling, training scheduling, check the crewconnex app, FC View, ask the front desk if they have anything for you. And if it is a true last minute disaster, then you have to expense it unfortunately.
When you fly the line, check the app, and do something sooner rather than later if you see you don't have anything! Don't wait until you're in Cancun, with no cellphone service, no hotel, no shuttle, no one speaks english, and late at night to realize "Oh sh3t, I don't have a reservation anywhere". Especially if it has been on your schedule!
Contrary to what you may think, and what you might hear on APC, this is not the only airline ever in the history of the world where flight crew hotel reservations get botched. Big boy pants, do your diligence. Good luck.
