Fights over who fills out the hotel sheet? I'm glad my company culture doesn't involve that sort of thing (not that we don't have our moments).
If anybody ever told me that it was company policy for the FO to do it, I'd point out that we're in the van and no longer on duty...

Yeah, its an ASA culture thing with the widespread belief that its the FOs job. Some crews are very rude about it. Some FAs remark that its your job, and sometimes when you're the last to get in the hotel lobby everyone is standing around waiting for you to do the sheet.
Anyways, we FOs are still way better off from the pre-ACARs days of filling the aircraft logs at the end of the day.

Apparently, on the ASA side, it is fully expected for the F.O. to fill out the hotel sheet; regardless of seniority. One could be a 20 year super senior F.O.; (which would almost always be senior to your captain,) but once you enter the Hotel van, it is apparently your duty to fill out employee names, numbers, and wake ups.

The key card thing really isn't a big deal. I've had a lot of captains and even flight attendants fill it out! I get a little annoyed every time a captain says "you call the hotel yet?" use your own damn phone, I have a walk around to do never mind cleaning up the cockpit and packing up.
The real lack of respect lately has been when I try to give the captain a piece of information that will save a step or make his life easier but get ignored and then it takes twice as long or worse yet ****es off a controller.

You guys are making the hotel key thing a way bigger deal than it is. I don't mind filling it out and I also don't mind picking the best room for myself. If I know the hotel, I will take the most desirable room and if I don't, I make sure to stick the CA and FA together and myself on the opposite side.
I've always figured that the cpt doesn't want to fill out the form and no one trusts the FA enough so it just gets assigned to the FO. Really not a big deal at all.

It's all relative, 99% of the time i don't care. But after a bad day with a really bad crew tossing you the clipboard it can be a bit degrading. A FA/CA key swap will put a smile on your face.

Or after a particularly bad day just quietly ask the desk which room is closest to the elevator, ice machine, etc then give that room to the crew member of your choice.
