I also highly doubt if he were out of base on a trip that they would say ohh you have to buy your own hotel room while the others go to the normal overnight hotel, i mean that would just be insane. Dont know what he meant by saying the company was making him pay for his hotels on ioe but he did say they were "working" on it to fix it??
Very true. I have seen and can imagine some other rare instances where it may be difficult to get a hotel room but they would never make the person pay for it unless it's in base. On a side note what a class act. Just gets preferentially hired and complains publicly in front of other crews. Sir, why don't you just take your things and hit the road? Generation me, makes me heartsick for America. Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending our pay scales. But c'mon, we just brought all these folks on board when we had no obligation to do so and a few choose to do nothing but whine and complain.
