What does the Hotel Committee do?

What is the function of the Hotel Committee? What do we look for in a hotel site inspection?   The representative from the Hotel Committee goes on site visits with the company and offers a recommendation of the hotels in any given city.  The primary requirements for every hotel are a quiet, safe, and secure environment with access to food.   These requirements will not be compromised.  The secondary items we look for are free internet access, a business center, refrigerator/microwave, free breakfast, workout facilities, and entertainment.  In a perfect world we would love to have all of the above requirements in every hotel.  The reality is all hotels don’t offer all these amenities to the crew.  The company does it’s best to get everything flight attendants would like in a hotel without compromising the safety of the crew.  The company then makes the final decision.   How do you log a comment or question on hotel issues?  Try to log the issue as soon as possible after an incident has occurred.  Write down all the pertinent information.  Log on to www.airtrancrewhotels.com or www.airtrancrew.com  and select CIS systems.  It will ask for your employee number and password.  The password will be the last four digits or your social security number unless you have changed it.  Select "new issue" and the system will walk you through the process.  The AFA does not have access to this system so please copy and paste to hotelcomm@bellsouth.net to keep us informed.  The CIS system will also keep you updated on any new hotel news and access to current hotel information.     If you ever have any questions on what is in the contract with each individual hotel please contact Geyson Rosario at crewhotel@airtran.com or BAT  x5087.  Geyson is the Crew Hotel Coordinator for AirTran Airways You can also email me, Amy Schulte at hotelcomm@bellsouth.net.   Please feel free to contact me anytime with any comments or suggestions you may have.  Your input is greatly appreciated.
