CREW
ACCOMMODATIONS UPDATE
A
site inspection for the SYR/Long Market was completed
on
June 25th. AFA and ALPA found the conditions at the
current
property warranted immediate removal of crews.
The
company agreed and complied. The only properties interested
in
crew business were NOT located in a downtown or metropolitan
area
as specified in our contract language for long RONs.
Due
to these unique circumstances, as of July 1st, all
accommodations
will be at the current SYR/short property.
The
property has a restaurant on premises and offers room
service.
They will also PROVIDE transportation to other
restaurants,
shopping and entertainment venues.
MAN
- A site inspection is scheduled for the third week
of
July. Thank you to all who responded to the committee's
request
for information concerning the MAN area.
Next
inspections on the agenda are:
EWR/L
FCO
RSW/L
The
committee continues to communicate with the company
regarding
issues concerning the LAX/L, Redondo Beach property
and
the LAS/L, Casino property. We look forward to resolutions
in
both markets. Please remain diligent in providing feedback.
Please
remember, the company contracts all non-smoking
rooms.
Should you want to smoke, please request a smoking
room,
either by calling the hotel in advance or requesting
one
at check-in.
Thank
you for helping us help you and providing feedback.
There
are two ways in which to provide feedback. The most
expeditious
is on-line at www.afausairways.org click on
electronic
forms - hotel, fill out form and submit. OF310
forms
are available at each domicile.
