FDX - CAN Hotel standby
Operate into CAN. 2-day layover before starting 3 days of hotel stby, followed by another couple of days off, then operate out.
Why are these before and after layovers in an airport location? Seems like they should be like any other long layover, downtown. Once the A/P stby starts, obviously the airport hotel makes sense.
I'm not looking forward to a week in the CAN airport and just wondered if anyone else had pressed to test on this.

Maybe to save ground transpo money. Look into a hotel change.
I tried to pull up the hotel directory layover guide but bad link on fpc.

The Pullman is about 130 hoonyackers less but the length of layover should determine which hotel is used for multi-hotel layovers. I'd look into it.

I'm about to do my third stretch at the Pullman. The first one I bid just to scope it out. It sucked. The second one I got on reserve, it sucked more. This one I got on VTO due to the latest seniority adjustment in ANC, it will suck as well. We've tried to get off campus for the STBY periods but flt mgmt, (i.e. a bunch of guys who have never left MEM) want us there. If you do have to serve time keep an eye out for bedbugs AND rats at the buffet. Those are the only two instances that I know of where the CAN STBY crew got to go to the Shifu for the STBY. I write this in the hotel after changing clothes in another airport bathroom on an Asia SDDH. Keep it classy FedEx.
