Am I the only one who thinks that some of our hotel stays are a bit ridiculous? Is there really a need to drive 40 miles to a hotel in IAH??? This seems insane.

This dates back to an arbitration about the definition of "metropolitan area" in the contract. There are some ways to make our drive shorter, maintain the hotel quality, and save the company a ton of money. The key is saving them a ton of money and it's not something we want to give to them without a new contract even if it means driving a little far to some hotels right now.

Don't give the company any savings unless it is written into the new contract with a huge pay raise for us! I'll take the 40 min drive if it puts more pressure on management to sign the TA.

Really? I can guarantee you our long drive does not put pressure on them when they are asleep in their cozy beds. Come on.

Jason, cumulatively it does put pressure on them. Any savings all added up puts pressure on them. So lets see, Distance Learning TA I would have put into the new contract and not a TA. Emergency Relief I would have voted no unless they can produce a TA that is worth something. Cheaper Hotel closer to the airport, again I would only put that into a new contract, if we can get something for it.

You are right, one thing doesn't put pressure on the company. All of these things do. Lets stop giving the company everything they want. Just my thoughts.

You do understand that some of our longest drive hotels cost twice as much as a comparable hotel that's shorter distance and has the same amenities in the surrounding area? We also spend another $100 round trip per crew on private transportation. So yes our 40min drive does put some pressure on them and that pressure is cost. It's a bit unnerving that a voting MEC member doesn't see something this simple.
