Guys,
I'm not going to intentionally disagree but has it occured to you that whilst you are working your arses off at the moment, so are the likes of Operations and Crewing who are dealing with double the number of crew, but without double the number of Crewing/Ops staff!
They are probably working equally as hard as you are and trying to come to terms with a much larger workforce. However I'm intrigued as to know how you feel it is in any way beneficial to Crewing to withold your room at a hotel by not answering a phone????? Why not give them the same 'break' that you're asking for.
