Hotel Changes - October 1, 2005

Perry Lopez/MEC Crew Accommodations Chair notified and copied the MEC on a list of properties over the weekend that will be changing on October 1, 2005. AFA and ALPA MEC Chairs were notified of these changes via e-mail. Selection of these properties was done without the involvement of AFA or ALPA. After discussions between Ed Bular/ USAirways /VP Flight Operations, AWA Representatives and Jack Pawlik/Manager Travel Services Purchasing, Ed Bular accepted these changes. These properties are used by America West.

The following markets are:

BOS/long 
DEN/long
LAX/short
ORD/long
PHX/long
SAN/short 

Names of these properties cannot be listed in this venue for security reasons. The list will be posted in the BOS crew room AFA Board. The MEC is against the manner by which these properties were selected as well as the properties chosen. The MECP is currently investigating these changes with the company as well as AFA MEC Grievance and our AFA Staff Attorney.

Questions and concerns? Please contact your local officers.

Thanks,
Lynne Caramello
