Put this in the caring column. Or, maybe the no one cares column. Or, the power trip column.

Had a turn CNX. Already at the airport. Have another turn 6 hours from the cnx turn. Same inflight crew. Call CS and get a hotel. But, they say inflight will be airport standby. This is due to them calling earlier and switching report times to later and then earlier, as I guess they saw the delay before we reported. Needless to say that they aggravated CS, so were penalized with airport standby. Ok, whatever. However, in this case the crew room was closed for maintenance. Not opening until later tomorrow. Not a very large crew room to start with, but there’s nowhere for them to hang out except the airport. I called back to CS and essentially begged for them to come with us to the day room. Nope. Not happening.

So, there’s you’re caring value rolled into one. Enjoy.

Isn't there a time period from Show time to the departure where they are REQUIRED to give you a hotel room? I don't have the contract in front of me, but it may not be their choice. Either way, it sound fatiguing.

 

They’re still in contract negotiations. No idea what it says for them now.

 

Its 5 hours if its a official posted delay. If its a never ending rolling delay like usual then you don't get one. Also them giving inflight crews ASB is a very common tactic used to avoid having to provide a hotel room. Even if they did not call ahead of time and get their report adjusted, CS can assign them ASB as filler to make sure a posted 5 hour delay goes under 5 hours. And if they did get their report time changed and thus their posted delay was now under 5 hours it would not even be up for discussion or consideration and I doubt they would of even wasted the breath or time to call and ask, there would be no way they'd get a hotel room. They don't even get a hotel room if CS disrupts their trip in base. They may live in SLC and bid only commutable 4 days, but too bad, your trip will be broken and you are expected to find your own accommodation while waiting for the back half of your 4 day that was turned into two 2 days by CS.

I kind of find it cute you'd even think they'd of been considered for a hotel room. Are you new here???

 

sounds like flight attendant problems to me.

you’re right I file this in the don’t care folder right next to the will you waive the CBA questions.

 

Whenever I hear stuff like this I remember the hard time FA’s and gate agents gave us after we unionized.

HAPPY JETTING!!

 

Oh you poor thing, it must of been hard taking jabs from someone who makes not much over min. wage. Have you recovered?

 

I honestly couldn’t care less. If they want their job to be reasonable they need to demand it. I wouldn’t do there job if they paid me why they pay me now. They need to fight for better qol. Until
enough get beat up enough they will never learn.

 

Last time I checked, no one is MAKING you work can do anything you like. You can work in another capacity if you want to or if you’re qualified. We fought our fight now you fight yours. Until then, cry me a river and I’ll take a Pepsi when you get a chance.

 

Classy. I bet you really show those gate agents and hotel clerks who's boss. But when it's time to picket on a sidewalk for the public to see in LIC, you want sympathy. Get your own Pepsi bub, and grab some blue gloves while you're in there.
