Need some help with a project I'm working on

[johnpeace]

I am working on a project as an entrepreneurial endeavor that has some data requirements.

One of the first collections of data I need is the list of overnight hotels from each US domestic carrier.

I have the Atlantic Southeast data already, naturally. It's available on my company's intranet.

The only way I can think to gather that data for other airlines is to simply ask crewmembers for those airlines if they can send me the list, copied from their company website. Of course, please don't if it's secret, security sensitive information...it's not at ASA and I can't imagine it would be anywhere else.

I can't share more about the project publicly yet, but would like to develop working relationships with crewmembers at other airlines to help move it forward.

If your inclined and able to help, please shoot me a PM.

Thanks.

Probably affiliated with AL QAEDA.

That's an interesting direction to go in...

I would think anything associated with where and when crews stay off duty should be considered somewhat sensitive information. Whether its a terrorist looking for info, or a wannabe looking to make a friend with a pilot at a company they want to work for, I think posting this kind of info here is a bad idea.

He works at ASA and is posting this in the regional thread as well. I agree though. Should be kept in company and not on a public forum such as the one he is creating.

For crew member security I don't think anybody will give you the list. You might want to ask an ASA chief pilot if what you are doing is legal within your own company.

I don't think you should be pursuing this information for security reasons. I bet you have not asked anyone in management at ASA for their permission to do this. Don't do anything stupid to risk your job. Think about it....

Yes, you'll have to have 1500 hours to get re-hired elsewhere. Heh-heh. Just kidding.

Good luck with your project, and I'm sure you're sincere, but most people will likely be a little leery of providing that info. Too many publicized cases of uniforms/ID's being stolen . . . not to mention kidneys.

You have no real idea of what I'm creating.

The end product will not reveal a crewmember's overnight hotel to ANYONE...well, except me since I'm maintaining the database.

Yeah, that's what I've found.

It's OK, I can approach this from a different direction and get to the same end.

Pardon the faux pas of asking for the info.

I expected the "pilots" on here to miss the point...

Re: the asshat "security" police on here...

1. Yep, NO one sees you getting into the "DOWNTOWN SHERATON ON 5TH AVE" van.. especially those AQ agents stalking you from baggage claim

2. And... no one in the hotel knows you're there, either as all 3-12 of your crew make their grand stumblances (<-- my word... no TOUCH!) out of the van.

3. your nightly "check in" on facebook at the LUBBOCK COMFORT SUITES are available to all 8 of your "friends".. and the 499,999,992 people who can access their pages... but no one knows where you are.

4. Asking about discounts on the $5.50 cheeseburger in the lobby cafe? yep, pilots are here... but SHHHHHHHHH!!! no one knows we're here!

5. sitting in the bar in your leather jacket and work pants with your airlines' branded t-shirt on? yep.. screams "ATTENTION: PILOTS STAY HERE"... but HUSHHHHHH... don't tell AAAAANNNY one, ok?

Hahahahaha, I was thinking the same thing, for the most part. :beer:

Yea, and Pilots don't need anything to bring down a plane but that does not stop the asshat security from probing us every day and punishing us for revealing information that is publicly known but technically "secret". Couple pilots feeling the pain from revealing public "secret" information.

I can't find anything in my company manual or company intranet that makes a designation of our hotel information as 'secret', 'sensitive' or anything else. On the contrary, any information that IS 'sensitive' is very clearly marked as such.

Well if it's Transtates your looking for, its always the Motel 8 furthest from the airport.
