Wrong!

It is within 50 feet from the aircraft!!!
You cant smoke within 8 hours of flying. What is your malfunction private!:eek:

OK, just kidding :laugh:
 
I'm willing to go out on a limb here and declare that no regional requires double occupancy for line flying. Newhires, maybe but not in day-to-day operations. First reason, there'd be threads on flightinfo entitled "Hottest FO You've Ever Shared a Room With." Second, can you imagine the legal risk taken by a company that squeezes opposite (or hell, same) sex crewmembers into a single sleeping quarters.....there'd be harassment lawsuits out the ying yang.
 
Ummm, actually.....

At Air Midwest (part of Mesa Air Group). When we arrive in CLT before sunrise and don't leave till afternoon. The company provides us with 1 room for the CA and FO to share. There is no FA. They don't consider us "off duty".

But we do get two beds. The CA gets the TV remote control.

Now tell me why that doesn't surprise me.
 
ASA tried to get us to bunk up in BTR after Katrina. They even went as far as lying that Eagle and Coex were doubling up so we should too. Until our MEC called the MEC's at Eagle and Coex and they said they were'nt and never had. NICE!!!
 
What I would like to hear is some of the stories that people have while at the hotel.

Ex.
My crew arrived at the hotel after a 7 leg 11+ duty hour day. I got my key and went to my room. When I tried to open the door the key did not work (no suprise there) and there was someone in the room. I went back down to the front desk and they verified they gave my room away. All the other rooms in the hotel were full as were all other local hotels. The only other option was crash in the captains room or get a room that was listed as out of service. OK I will take the room with a few tiles loose in the shower. I go into the room to discover a hole in the bathroom wall big enough for me to step into and tiles overflowing the shower. Then to add to the fun, the front desk calls me at 630 am to give me my original room back after I had not gotten to bed till 230am. I hate KPIH!

So what do you do when the captain pulls it out and starts whacking it ??

When you go to the hotels you should get it on with the FA's. I hear that they are all smokin' hot and "F" like porn stars!

I know that Gulfstream used to have an apartment with bunkbeds that it made its crew share on Bahamas overnights.

That was the time to call crew scheduling, notify them that you are still on duty. The company did not provide the contractually required accomodations. Until those accomodations are provided, you remain on duty. It would fall under "local transportation". The company now needs to find a suitable hotel room for you, and transportation to get there. If that means they go to the next town, or 200 miles, so be it. Either way it wouldn't be local transportation and so your duty time doesn't end at block-in +15. BTW, I would also have notified the Captain of the situation. If you aren't provided an adequate place to rest, how can you be physically fit and mentally competant to fly a transport category aircraft?

Be a good FO and get him a tissue? CA's authority and you're still on a pairing, right?

What a freaking dirtbag company.....I knew it was bad there, but not that bad......do you each get your own towel, or do you share that too.
 
Yup, but it sure would be nice if it was some really hot new F/O (female of course)....ripe for breaking in......never mind what is on TV....I'd just like to see her take the uniform off!
 
I forgot to add...

In this same hotel - one time we arrived and found out that the entire 2nd floor was reserved for a "swingers convention". They had some other name for it but that's what they were doing. It's the hotel that is across the parking lot from the strip club.

Ahh, the good times. Why did I ever quit?

Did you swap your Captain for a 28 yr old with 38D's?

What do you think light switches and pillows are for?

1. Turn out the light.

2. Put a pillow over her face.

3. Go to town on the honey hole!

4. 15 seconds later, turn on the light so she can use the pillow case to clean her belly or small of her back off. :D
