Default AMR/APA agree to 2 pilots sharing a hotel rm

Here it is:

I'm betting the UAL CAL pilots are jealous of this...This is why American was my only choice straight out of design school. I never applied to CAL/UAL/DAL because they believe in separate hotel rooms.

I'm voting "Yeth" (insert Rainbow smiley)

"There may be certain unusual isolated situations of a temporary nature where single occupancy accommodations, as stipulated above, cannot be obtained at a daily rate of sixty-five dollars ($65) or less. Under such circumstances,double occupancy in a double room will be acceptable until single occupancy accommodations are again available at this rate."


No alternative lifestyle choices are being mocked in this post. Any coincidence to mocking an Alternative lifestyle is intended for dramatic purposes only. 7576FO does not believe in Unicorns, he actually owns a Narwhal.

7576... you jumped the gun a little there bro. First, they are talking about a day room when there is more than a 5hr sit... i.e, "rest on duty".. 2nd, this has been in our contract for years and has never been enforced to the best of my knowledge (for good reason.)

They are not talking about regular layovers.

Still voting No!

aa73...don't you think this would allow you to 'bond' with your fellow crewmembers?

If this ever happened, I would immediately call in sick and have myself removed from the trip. If necessary, I'd get my own room.

Yeah, I'll "bond" with them on the phone as I explain, "you can have the room, I'm suddenly feeling fatigued."

Mesa had a provision like this for Continuous Duty operations. After a crew filmed themselves getting down to their underwear together and sent the video to the local TV station Mesa management decided to come up with the extra bucks for individual rooms.

My guess is just the legal bills for a sexual harassment complaint would be over $25,000 per occurrence and more like $150,000 if it went to trial.

Yes, i did jump the gun a bit. It is in our old contract (WE DO NOT HAVE A CONTRACT) and it was for breaks in day room 5 hours.

My apology

Faith restored, that was getting close to rolling into a full day and no response.
