The HOTAC whinge was meant about those times when the pax are put one place and the crew another. Before you talk about crew duty and sleep and all that cr@p, you tell me why tanker crews are put up in Limassol hotels, when the single seat (non auot-pilot equipped) fast jet pilots, due to fly on the same trail, sleep in transit accommodation on base!! That's the kind of stuff that doesn't make friends!
I have absolutely no problem whatsoever with crews staying in hotels when it's all that's available and is required to ensure a good nights' rest (or night of p1ssing it up in the bar!).
As for the proof of rule breaking, I clearly stated earlier that I'm NOT going to mention it here because, by definition, it is not the sort of thing that I would really want to discuss on a public forum!
