I know what Maxjet is getting at though. Up until the current climate I absolutely loved going to work here. Then when it all started...we were all thankful to have a job and be doing well. But it’s starting to take a toll on the troops. And thanks to the China visa deniers.... All I see is the Incheon vortex.

Michelin star fried buns in Hong Kong...lazy afternoons with beers in town square in anywhereville Europe, crazy one off charters to some Norwegian Air Force Base......Give me that at min guarantee and I’m a happy camper. Stack it up while we can though I guess. As for the guy above talking about “$0.50 for overtime” above....... My W2 would hurt his whole family’s feelings.

pretty funny!!
he a troll like we've seen over and over
hopefully the China flying will decrease at some point and you 74 guys will get some new options

btw OZ sucks

Don't feed the "Victim" trolls

Do you guys keep your airline miles and hotel points?

We used to.

We are using API for hotels and transportation booking now and they claim we will keep getting points, but I am skeptical.

Do you guys have language to self help after a set time when API screws up, like they always do?

Not really. Our CBA says they'll try to give us points essentially.

CBA 6.B.3.b
"The Company will also make commercially reasonable efforts to secure layover facilities that meet the following preferred criteria. It will not be a violation of this Agreement if the Company, after making commercially reasonable efforts, is unable to provide the items list as preferred."

Then it lists a bunch of stuff like laundry, points, shopping nearby, etc.

They can pull all the points and I believe we would have a very hard time fighting it via grievance.

I was asking, when you get to a hotel and API screwed up and didn't make a reservation, do you have a set timeline on when you can whip out the company card and just book your own?

API is known to screw up, all the time, and when they do, it can take 6 hours to reach someone on the phone.

ive heard of guys getting their own hotels. If you make your next flight and give the receipts to the company I’ve never heard a complaint.

I don't know of any specific limit, but as long as your decision was legit they don't question it. I've done it twice in 3 years and they didn't question it either time.
