Shared Hotel Rooms?

[Gumby]

Punching the clown...

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.

Some people can WHINE, for NO reason at all...Sheeesh!! Take some pictures for us all, and pick up something for the girlfriend slacker!!!

Is it a company owned by a former United whale captain?

I know some male pilots whose only chance to share a room with a woman would be if they were forced to by the company. That aside, definitely not cool to require sharing a room. Even if it wasn't a violation of Federal Code, it's opening the door to a big time lawsuit

I know of a GIV operator in the northwest who requires their crew to share a room. They were considering trying to hire a female pilot just to force a change in that policy!

You forgot to include"former United SCAB whale captain. He crossed the picket line in '84. Everyone forgets to include that when they talk about this guy.

Shared rooms aren't too bad!

Our corporate flight dept. requires us to share our rooms with the female pilots. Most of them were very good looking but some of them were very average looking. There is never a dull moment on our trips.

A possible scenario

There might be a situation when this is possible; a charter operator I once worked for did have us sharing a room! It was for day rooms when the trip DIDN’T require us to get day rooms. You know those 6AM departures with a 7PM return for a 1 hour flight (just under 14 hour duty). Getting a day room sure beat staying at the airport all day, even if it was a “shared” room. It allows you to change into your golfing attire and clean up before the return trip.

However, for just about any other kind of situation a shared room is a slap in the face.

How pathetic this is, a GIII costs about $1500 an hour in fuel costs alone, yet some “genius” thinks he’s saving the company money by cutting a $69 hotel room out of the budget.

$69 for a hotel room??? That hardly buys a decent bottle of wine.

Is it someone known for a lot of inflight photography? Feet of Clay?... TC

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 work for a medium-sized charter company and we aways get separate rooms regardless of the composition of the crew, even when training.
