Hotel Rooms for Sits Scheduled or Delayed Greater than Four Hours

Date: December 1, 2022

Section 5.B. of our Contract outlines the obligation of the company when scheduled at a layover station in excess of four hours (Section 5.B.1.) or are delayed at a layover station for four hours or more at the time the delay is known or after reporting for duty at the home domicile there is a delay of four or more hours from the time the delay is known. (Section 5.B.2.)

There may be circumstances where an originally scheduled “sit” which is less than 4 hours becomes greater due to early arrival of the inbound flight or other mitigating criteria. In these occurrences the requirements of Section 5.B. do not apply because the “sit” is not scheduled nor has there been a delay establishing the requirement. Another consideration is to be aware of the time when the delay is known.
