Hotel Committee Update – March 2022

In this update we would like to inform you about the situation in US.

ANC
As the meal services have been introduced at the Sheraton, Cargolux will revert to what is outlined in the CWA for the breakfast:

The 25$ allowance will no longer be applicable in ANC and this change is already in effect.

Hotel committee members have sampled the breakfast with some colleagues, and it is found to be of the standard that we expect. Some buffet items will change with seasonality and others might be on and off as some items might not always be available due to the still ongoing supply chain disruptions or excessive pricing.

Furthermore the hotel management has informed us that a mandatory Fire Test will be performed at the hotel on 15-16 MAR 2022. The plan is to allocate rooms to crews at floors (up to level 8) which mitigate the affected by the fire alarm in order to limit the impact on crew rest.

MIA
We have received some reports from pilots that the breakfast is insufficient. The standard should include a hot meal, fruits, a regular hot and cold beverage (coffee, juice) and bakery items including all fees, taxes and gratuities.

The hotel committee is in contact with the hotel management and Cargolux procurement department in order to improve the situation

ORD
The hotel change is now complete in ORD and all crews are now booked in the the Omni Hotel. Again we would like to have some feedback on the breakfast and other items that need to be brought to our attention so that it can be addressed.


As always, if confronted with any deficiencies, please file a Voyage Report and forward a copy to cvhotels@alpl.lu 


Thanks a lot for your support and kind regards!
