Even high end prepared food at nice restaurants is still horrible for you.
Plus those that are into fitness are usually much better served bringing specific food for their goals. Regardless, I get we all have different tastes and motivations, I just find it hard to believe that some hotels don’t offer microwaves and fridges. |

I don’t mind the trip to the lobby with the paper plate of food I brought (I even packed my own paper plates) to nuke.

Thank you. I could meal prep, but I get very tired of eating the same thing day after day, plus the time it takes to do it. Slam clicking isnt my thing either so I appreciate our better overnights near stuff and hopefuly thats with a good crew. In my previous post I meant COU not CUU, but I agree that breakfast is realy good!
I think some of our worst overnights could be improved just by trading one Holiday Inn location for another closer to downtown or the local points of interest. It doesn't have to ne either/or. |

Please gents, feel free to bring up on today’s union call your collective love for LQ, and lower, tier hotels. :rolleyes
I get the desire to have access to a microwave and mini fridge (plenty of business class hotels such as Hilton/Hyatt/Crowne Plaza/Marriott, etc., have fridges btw), but for those of us who didn’t go into this profession to eat four days of leftovers out of a cooler, it would be nice to stay in higher tier properties within striking distance of food and stuff to do. We get per diem for a reason. Do you think the road warriors that we traditionally fly would be jazzed about an LQ next to a Waffle House because “yay, I don’t have to walk 20 ft to nuke stuff?” Come on man. |

If you are in the market for a used car. No other hotel is close to so many car dealerships. |
Rotor head guy
Are the days of company paid rotor transition days over?

I think I see the disconnect. Some of the locations I have never been too, so perhaps the fleet you are on plays a part in the hotels. I can only think of a couple on the 175 that are horrible.

On the call yesterday I heard someone else got fired from posting shi+ on social media. I don’t understand why people keep going on fb pages to talk shi+ about the company. People need to start using apc more often. Just my 2 cents.

That one was 3ish years ago. He was a good guy, but made a very wrong comment. Or someone else made it on his behalf “Allegedly”

Speaking of TDY, I can’t get the RF form to submit. The form just resets when I hit return after Send. No “Done”.
I do the usual Home, reset, reset, tab. What am I missing here. |
Any idea if Envoy will honor CJOs when they start hiring?

Still likely to be late summer early fall before the hiring wheels start turning again. Those that have been sitting will all pretty much need the full Monty in training so even at full speed that’s a two to three month delay of starting new classes. |
It is not wise to post the same thing to APC and FB...

Posting the same or similar things to FB where you are identified and then to APC can possibly identify you to management. Never a good thing. |
TC left on Monday to Atlas and is still getting paid by the union until the 16th. Can anyone explain this to me?

I’m not trying to stir any “rumor” but as a union member I’d like to have some clarification on this matter. |

No ideas. But rather than throwing that out here, ask a rep, bring it up in one of the calls, etc. Any answer you get here usually isn’t worth the ether it is typed in. Dera, who is as good of source as there is, has posted some answers and you haven’t been happy with what he said so why keeping beating that dead horse here?
