Default Pay your way and hotel rooms

How true is this? Seeing its coming from the FAs I wonder if its a violation of their contract. I'd bet money FAs would argue fatigue from having to sleep by carousel 8 or pay for an airport hilton out of pocket. To all APA fight the good fight and make sure we have well rested crews both on and behind the flight deck. Customer safety depends on it.

Was first reported by Aero Crew News as American Update:

American Airlines Pilot and Flight Attendant unions filed grievances today over flight attendants being forced to sleep outside baggage claim, and crews having to pay for their own hotel rooms. Source is in link above.

Believe they are referring to one horrible storm night in DFW where every hotel was sold out. Long wait times and all of that stuff to get a hold of someone. Couldn’t get any ubers or taxis from what I’ve heard. But you could have gotten a hotel farther away and expensed it and gotten reimbursed. If you secured travel somehow.
