I doubt that NetJets pays full fare for any of their pilot stays, so why hasn’t ALPA stepped up and negotiated with the hotels to get us a stay credit at the least??
I think that it probably comes back to the rate. Being that United most likely buys far more rooms than all of those companies combined, we probably pay a much lower rate. A lower rate paid by a company potentially comes with fewer perks for the employee. In the grand scheme of things it’s pretty insignificant considering our compensation (including just over $70 per day in per diem to cover expenses). Just don’t see this even being on ALPA’s radar as an issue.
