Hotel Irregularity Electronic Form
 


Crew Accommodations Alert

As you know, the Company recently changed hotels in MCO. This hotel is a great improvement over our previous RON hotel. We have had many crews who have stayed there and really enjoyed the rooms, the amenities and the location.

Early on, there was a problem with the use of the hotel’s health club. The problem was with the hotel charging for its use because the health club is attached to the hotel’s Spa facility. This problem was alleviated through renegotiated language with the hotel and crews will no longer be charged for the health club use.

An unfortunate issue was brought to the attention of the AFA Hotel Committee.  Crews engaged in bad behavior (both East and West, pilot and flight attendant crews) created enough problems for the property that US Airways may lose this contract. Crew Accommodations is working with the property and we hope to be able to work out the issues and keep our crews at this location.

Everyone has had bad days when nothing goes right and you’re exhausted by the end of the day.  However, just as it is not appropriate for passengers to take out their frustration on us, it is also not appropriate to take out your frustrations on hotel staff. As a reminder, please remember to be professionals when dealing with hotel issues. If there is a problem with the hotel that cannot be resolved, complete a Hotel Electronic Form report on the AFA Council 66 website www.afa66.org or forward a written report to the AFA Hotel Committee as soon as possible.

David McCullar, AFA Hotel Committee Chair


As a note, our properties in Hawaii are not under contract, and are in fact month to month. As all of these properties are stellar (5 star in some cases), we want to thank our work group and management for dealing with any glitches at these properties with kid gloves and professionalism. We all want these properties to stay in our system and ask that Flight Attendants address any issues with continued professionalism.
