"Camping Out"? Can someone explain that?
 
"Camping Out"? Can someone explain that?


The contract requires hotel rooms of overnights greater than 4 hours.

Some CRJ PHX based overnight flying out of LAS will take you to -- say COS for example -- and back with less than 4 hours so no hotel room. With nowhere to go at 3-4am the crews "camp out" on the aircraft until the next flight, typically in the 5:30 to 6am time frame.

Oh. Thanks.
 
I heard that "camping out" referred to the new hires from the Mesa Pilot
Development Program "pitching tents" at the prospect of sitting in the right seat of an RJ after 250 hours.


Ha! And for the ladies, it's called "damping out."
