Default Downtown layovers

Certain airports require >14 hrs for downtown layovers but I can't find that info in the UPA or anything. Does anyone have that list by any chance? Didn't know where to post this

There are probably other sources, but the ALPA app will tell you. It's under MY PILOT GROUP -> MEC HOTELS

Just search the airport code and it'll tell you which ones are 14 hour exception cities.

I think the question you asked wasn’t the answer that you got. The 14 hour rule is specified in the UPA (4-C-2-d). It’s by exception that you don’t stay downtown >14 hours.

Certain airports with certain arrival times the company is allowed to book a field hotel if it’s under 16 hour layover.

One example is EWR with a 0630 land after a red eye and a 15 hour layover. By the time you made it downtown it would be an 11 hour with rush hour on both ends. Exceptions allowable for your own sanity and misery mitigation.

Yep. That’s what I was saying. I think the way the OP phrased the question was probably just weird. Either way, he got his answer.

And file PDR with the union, they won’t change some of the ridiculous ones like ORD unless they have a lot of feedback

Yes I got the answer, it’s black and white in the ALPA app like was mentioned.
