I try not to be unreasonable. If their van is 2 minutes away, I’m not making a fuss. I’ve never had a CPO under any regime question my reimbursement.

get your cab, submit for reimbursement, and if it doesn’t get paid then submit a contract dispute in DTS. The clincher here is to make sure you have good evidence for DTS ie screen shots of when you arrived curbside with a date/time stamp, and screenshot when you called for a cab after 15 mins with your call logs showing you made attempt to contact the hotel curbside.
Where disputes fall over is lack of good evidence.

Make sure you ask the CPO for a paper copy of the bid so that you can figure out what you are going to do. Don't write on it though, there's only one copy.

Well this was a weird comment, yikes...

For one, you never HAD to pay for QT. It was always purely optional. So I don't understand the negative attitude toward QT. That said, I do agree that what QT does should be done through the company. But given the quality, or rather lack of quality, of the company apps, I have a feeling that a LOT of pilots would still pay for QT for $5 per month even if something like Mobile CCI did mostly the same functions.
FWIW, one of the biggest things I miss from QT was the email notifications (like when a new trip hits OT). I bet even if the company came up with their own version some day, it will never have that. The quick notification lets you grab the trip before someone else does. You do that once and you've paid for several years of the app with the one trip.
Yes perhaps it was a bit harsh but at the end of the day it’s just another pilot hobbyist developer that ran off with our money. Case closed.
Getting specific, yes you never HAD to pay for it. The notifications were good but as dera said, the way it caches it wasn’t really live as most of the time those trips were gone, ATTOT has been a dream lately. However that is a good point, if one notification got you a trip it did pay for itself.
My bitterness comes from the fact that once again, I’m out X amount of dollars because the developers didn’t do research as to the consequences of what their apps were doing. They were great apps, but they started out without the blessing of the company, which means they were doomed from the start unfortunately
