Shared Hotel Rooms?

[JediNein]

Greetings,

For the corporate types out there, is it normal for a company to only provide one hotel room for a male/female flight crew?

I know from major airline experience the males shared a room and the females shared a room, but there was no co-ed stuff going on.

So, is it normal, it is chicken-shee..?

I dont know what your "experience" has been with major airlines in the past, but none of them require crew members to share rooms.

No.

No one shares rooms.

I have never heard of any major airline doing that, either.

Although, Eagle is a major airline, and their new hires will be sharing hotel rooms in training starting in January.

American Airlines had new-hires doubled up in hotel rooms for their initial training.

Other mainline carriers used to only provide one room -- but that was back in the DC-3 days . . .

Never shared a room with anyone on a trip... All crew members get their own rooms...

Thanks guys!

If I'm going to sleep my way into the right seat it'd better be for a 757, not some flipping GIII.

Do Captains get to bid on which FO's they get to sleep with?

Are you saying a GIII operator in SoCal is asking you to share a hotel room?

Pray tell, who is the operator?

I have worked at two different airlines, and neither required us to share our room with anyone. I have worked at two very large corporate flight departments (not charter or fractionals) and was never required to share a room.

I have heard of airlines doing this type of thing in the past, but not lately. There are also airlines that do not provide you with a hotel room during training, so in those cases I have heard of pilots going in together to share rooms and save $$$. The worlds largest corporation once required all of it's employees to share rooms on the road, but I understand that even they no longer do this.

I cannot believe that a company would want the potential liability that would come by forcing employees to share a hotel room. Especially making the opposite sexes share a room.

Under current Federal legislation and regulation this would probably qualify the company as failing to create a safe and secure workplace for employees.

Just to make certain I was right about this, I called a DOJ assistant prosecutor I used to date and put the question to him. He said, and I quote verbatim, "If obliging employees of different genders to share a hotel room is a condition of employment, this would be a violation of Federal code."

I would decline the practice.

Sharing...

Actually..Back in my "Hey day" of flying a Metro for a "Package" operator HQ'ed in KSAT, we were doing the FedEx run out of KMIA to GCM, and they made us share a day room with our female counterparts...

If it is in fact a G-III operator, I wonder if it is Pacific Jet ...

If it is, it would not suprise me, given their record of PFT and leading the way to the bottom of charter outfits. If it is not, I am sure they are wondering why they did not think of it ....

If anyone gets a chance, be sure and read about Sentiant and Blue Star in this months Business and Commerical Aviation. All this bul$h*t that "third rate" charter outfits and scumbag operators are doing will start to make more sence as they try and chase the few pennies that Sentient and Blue Star are "offering" 135 operators that play ball with them.

Sentiant and Blue Star ... don't do it, keep our business professional. If you cannot afford it, you cannot play the game.

This is without a doubt the most boring three days of my life. Anyone have an ice pick I can shove through my ear. No fun going to the bar with a non-drinker who smells like my 92 year old grandfather.
Hey, its a glamorous job.

 

[sleepy]

Just wondering, did they also want to give you a gynecological exam as a condition of employment?

A BIG THANK YOU to the folks that have responded.

No it wasn't Pacific Jet. . . No, I'm not naming the company in public. And, a reminder, this airport has more G-IIIs than a dog has fleas.

I should ask this company if they want the results of the STD test along with the usual drugs and alcohol. And as this is California, will they provide the uniforms, i.e. fishnet and heels? Finally, will I have to pay union dues, for the Screen Actors Guild?

Although this isn't Las Vegas, it is Hollywood. It can be a joke, or it can be true.
