Section 5: expenses
 

Pros and cons of ta

Pro:
Hotel buy back went up to $50 from $25
This is current book but the nap rooms are PILOT ONLY! Now let’s get the loud filthy FAs out. No profit sharing I’m not sharing.
Long overnight is now 18hrs block in to block out (yes I understand this may be a con for some). It was a win for the company no doubt so what did we get for it?

Con:
Per diem increases $.02 per year. Really?
No Crew meals
Same uniform allotment instead of a replacement bank or dry cleaning reimbursement
No FAA medical reimbursement

Looks like you may be sharing hotel rooms for a charter. Check out 5.A.2.e.12.

It makes single hotel rooms (5.A.2.d.1.) “preferred” rather than mandatory.

I’m assuming “single hotel rooms” means single *occupancy* hotel rooms.

Could make for some interesting overnights, I guess.

I don't think I follow the single hotel rooms language is exactly the same as the current contract...

How many charters have you done here? Yes though that is an oversight and would have to be fixed. Always look to the future for the holes. It is current book. Nice catch though

I noticed another potential gotcha in the Hotel section.

5.A.2.a.10. Acceptable cost.

Acceptable to whom? The Company, I presume. If this is the case, what’s to keep them from refusing to pay for anything above a Super 8?

If it’s not a big deal, then the Company shouldn’t mind changing it, then. Is that what you’re trying to say?

Again current book. I would think precedent would prevail on this as “metropolitan area” is in there again. Hotels were a cut and paste aside from the long/short hours

"It is understood that these “Hotel Minimum Standards” may be modified with
the mutual agreement of the Company and the Association Hotel Committee."

I believe that's what they mean by who it is "acceptable to".

I’m certainly open to having that changed and for free yes
