Crew Accommodations Update June 12, 2008
For everyone flying SNN, as you know we have been experiencing unacceptable
waits checking in, particularly on the weekends. As of this weekend, crews
arriving in SNN on Saturday or Sunday will be going to a different hotel in
Limerick (the one where we stayed originally at the inception of this service.
This will be weekend crews only until July when all crews will be staying in
Limerick.
As you know, many hotels are going to all non-smoking. I know some of you are
unhappy about that, some thrilled. We can't please all the people all the time.
As a reminder, your Union and your company have nothing to do with the hotels
decision. Your contract language only guarantees you a NON-SMOKING room. If you
decide to smoke in a non-smoking room, please remember, not only are you
subjecting yourself to a $250.00 fine, or higher, you are also subjecting your
fellow crewmembers to staying in a smoky room (since crew rooms are usually
turned over to other crewmembers).
Now that summer is here we are all feeling the heat! We have had numerous
complaints about air-conditioning not working in some hotels. This is truly
unacceptable and none of us can be expected to endure these conditions. (Bad
enough we put our passengers through it sitting on those baking aircraft) Please
let us know if this is happening to you so we can address it in a timely manner
(i.e., before winter)
Also, please let us know if any hotels or transportation companies are trying to
squeeze more than the safe amount of crewmembers in vans. With gas prices
climbing steadily, everyone is trying to tighten their belts (pardon the pun)
but, we pay for transportation and should not have to endanger ourselves on the
ride to or from the airport.
Thanks for all the positive reinforcement you have been giving your hotel
committee. We're working hard so you can rest easy!
