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??
The NetJets contract basically says the company can't book a rate that would result in no loyalty earnings.
I think this comes down to the credit card. At NetJets you are issued an Amex card (you keep those points too) that is used to pay for your hotel rooms. At an airline it is direct bill. So, that is likely the difference.
