Do you guys have any provisions for taking a taxi to the hotel? At Comair, our hotel contracts state that it is the hotel's responsibility to find out when the flight is arriving and have the van at the airport on time. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. We are trying to get away from calling the hotel to send the van, because it conditions the hotel to wait for the call. Of course on a short overnight it's hard not to call.
We also have a provision that if the van is not there to pick us up by 35 minutes after block in (20 min duty + 15 min wait for van), then we take a cab and the hotel pays for it. If they won't pay, captain pays, gets reimbursed from chief pilot, and the company deals with the hotel.
