In our last Members Update in January we mentioned the requirement for a joint effort by our members, the Hotel Committee, the Divisional Board and also the Union to tackle the issue of crew hotels that have been unilaterally chosen by management.
Since the publication of our last update, both Unions sent a letter to Senior Management to emphasize the importance to respect the CWA and to involve the Hotel Committee in the selection process. In addition, a letter questioning the necessity to change hotels as a mitigation procedure when predefined trigger levels are reached was sent by the President and Secretary of the Employee Delegation. You can read these letters and the response from the CEO by clicking on the below links:

Answer by the CEO
We are glad to see that in the meantime crew layovers in MIA, IAH and ATL are again planned in our regular hotels which have been assessed and approved by the Hotel Committee in the past.
It is worth mentioning that your effort to file the respective reports when standards were not met or your rest was disturbed played an important role. Thank you very much and please remember; Your voice matters!
