I'm a little confused...Why are they building these MEM Hotel stby pairings, anyway? Isn't the call out for that, 1+30? Or in other words, 30 mins prior to showtime? Are they building these just to gain that extra 30 mins, compared to reserve callout? Weird.
Seems like it would be cheaper to have guys in ARPT Stby. Less credit hours and no room expense.

If nothing else, it confirms the fact that either "O" or some other management type spends time here. That in and of itself is not to bad. For you Memphis guys who won't get paid to stay at home on "hotel standby" anymore, I say, you should'a kept yur big trap shut
. But look on the bright side, you can hire a baby sitter, and take the wife over to the hotel for a little mini-honeymoon. Or, you can just go there solo, and watch THE GAME.

O sez...Frankly, we have had issues concerning missed notifications. I have directed CRS to cease allowing pilots to serve hotel standby periods from home. We either need a pilot on hotel standby or we don't. Sitting hotel standby from home is called “reserve”duty. Again, this is my decision, not the schedulers. Please direct all hate mail at the correct source.
Settles that one!

As far as I'm concerned, accepting to do a hotel stby from home is undermining the contract as we fought to fix the onerous 30-minute call out 24-hour availablity we had prior to negotiating contract 1. Glad "O" stepped forward on this one.
