Quick question.
I have a trip at the end of April that carries over into May. I convert to my new base in May. Is the company obligated to give me positive space back to my new base then?

New hire hotel
What’s the case with new hire hotels? I hear Indic is paid for but the rest isn’t? Any reason? Any suggestions on best place to stay?

Reason? It’s always been that way because 1) the pilot union doesn’t fight to get it added to the contract, because it doesn’t effect the other 99.69% of pilots, and 2) the company doesn’t feel like it’s preventing them from getting high caliber folks to apply, so why spend the money if they don’t have to.
Where to stay? Hotel or crashpad...depends on how much you can afford. If you don’t bring a car, highly recommend your hotel has shuttle service...the Virginia Ave area is not the safest place to be after dark.

I would love for it to be fixed this contract for the sake of our new hires, but I don't think it makes the short list of things the MEC is looking to get....hope I'm wrong!
