I did check Content Locker and the version of training support I had was current. It does give the schedule for the Ace shuttle service. It did not mention that the Doubletree no longer provided shuttle service.

ALPA has reported on this numerous times since the situation started to develop. The last time it was mentioned was in the March 16th MEC Update: Hotel Committee Report.
The information has been out there for months.

Mileage reimbursement instead of a PS seat? Nope. If you live local they give you $15 I think and you don't get a room.

The level of uninformed as a PDR volunteer continues to AMAZE me.

You have a nice color coded contract in the content locker. It is interactive.

If the answer isn't there, then the concept of "reasonable" applies.

Don't make it more than it is.

I also couldn't find any reference to it on CCS. Guess I missed it in the ALPA mailings though. My bad.

Two other people waiting didn't know the status either.

There was no mention of it in mid-December because it was literally an overnight decision with no warning to anyone. But as has been mentioned before, there have been numerous ALPA and Company messages about this.

Agreed. But not in ways you are guaranteed to read. Like a CCS message. Or an Ops note. Or an email made when they make your training hotel reservation.

Make sure to follow up with your local flight office. The company owns this one.

Our union has certainly fulfilled its obligations.
