Interesting - the argument being that getting woken by a fire alarm precluded work the next day?
I did some work for a IHG and was told that one of their Sydney hotels hosted all staff from a particular airline when they were in town. Seems like putting all your eggs in one basket?
- wkat4242 3y agoWell you don't want an exhausted flight crew, trust me. Those rules are written in blood.
- Aeolun 3y agoYeah, I’ll absolutely take the delay over exhausted crew. It’s just, the airline never tells you why the flight is delayed, it’s just ‘delay’, and you tend to assume incompetence instead of anything else.
- yardstick 3y agoYes me too. But in a big transit hub like London, with thousands of hotels, and a continuous stream of flight movements, I would expect them to be prepared for such scenarios with relief/standby crew.
- 10u152 3y agoFlight crew can't work if they have young kids? Or puppies? or noisy neighbors?
- arbus5672 3y agoI’m sure the airline can get a much sweeter deal if they show a high volume of rooms booked. Although the costs of an entire days worth of flights being cancelled because of a errant fire alarm seems like a high cost to pay, I’m sure they gamed the numbers out and it makes financial sense for them in the long run
- yardstick 3y agoYeah, they didn’t receive their minimum rest hours or something along those lines. My suspicion is the crew were up partying and had a smoke break inside which set off an alarm.
