Now... an Irregularity Report or other similar internal company report, is NOT protected by law, so be careful what you write in those!

If you're fatigued, don't fly.
Probably they'll find a way to f ... you in the sim!

We've had guys waiting for hotels for over 5 hours due to the storms last night. Do you ever hear of WN pilots waiting that long to get a hotel assignment during an IROP?

But the chief pilot said you can just buy a hotel. Just do the job of crew scheduling.

Heck at SW we’ve had guys (and gals) sleep in the crew lounge for lack of any hotels during an irop. unfortunately I think things like that happen no matter what airline you’re at. They’ll keep a handful of open rooms at our mega stations just in case, but not much you can do during widespread cancellations. Livin the dream right?

Keeping a block of rooms open would be a great start. We don't have that.

That pesky little fact that the grass isn't always greener out there. Who'd a thunk it?

And cancellations cause passengers to seize open rooms before we have a chance to process the cancellation internally sometimes.

There's so much negativity around this barn ... a bit of positive attitude is actually welcomed. Thank you
