Hotel Committee and ProStandards Committee Update – April 30, 2026
| Fellow Pilots,
It has come to our attention that crews have been using non-company approved Ubers and Lyfts for personal use during overnights, then expensing those rides on Chrome River. Please be advised that the current CBA has no language to support rental cars or Ubers for our crews personal use. This includes use for getting food when there is none located nearby. Unfortunately, there is also no language that requires food to be close to the booked hotel. The CBA language only states that a 3 star or greater hotel be booked. The only clause in the CBA regarding Ubers/Taxis is in regards to self-relief. If it has been 45 minutes since your release from duty, and you do not have transport to the hotel, crews are allowed to get their own taxi or Uber and then chrome river that expense. This will be reimbursed by the company. In the past it was common for Crew Services to order crews an Uber in order to get to a restaurant on layovers. The company has since stated that is no longer an option. This also includes reimbursement on Chrome River for crews who have booked an Uber themselves. Going forward crews will not be able to request an Uber (outside of transport to and from the airport) nor will they be reimbursed for personal Uber expenses. It is the expectation of the Company and your Union that if requiring an Uber for personal use, that employee utilize their own resources. Please do not reach out to Crew Services for personal requests. If you have any questions please feel free reach out to either your Hotel Committee or ProStandards Committee representative. |
