H. HOTEL/MOTEL/TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE

1. A Hotel/Motel/Transportation Committee, made up of representatives of the APFA and the Company, will be established and shall meet as needed to review and resolve all Flight Attendant feedback relating to lodging accommodations and transportation for Flight Attendants.

2. Guidelines for the selection of hotels, motels and transportation shall include the safety and security of the transportation vehicles, rooms and hotel locations; the cleanliness and quietness of the accommodations, and the adequacy of the eating facilities. The following procedures will be used in the selection of hotel/motel accommodations and associated transportation:

a. The APFA's National Hotel Coordinator and/or her/his designee(s) will meet quarterly with the representatives of the Company, or more frequently, if needed, to review the suitability of hotel/motel accommodations and associated transportation for Flight Attendants. The parties intend that the APFA's National Hotel Department representative(s) be given the opportunity to consult with and make recommendations to the Company on the selection and suitability of accommodations and associated transportation. b. When changing or selecting accommodations, the Company will prepare a list of hotels/motels being considered and provide such list to the APFA. If requested, the Company will also provide a list of all companies from whom bids were requested and all companies who submitted bids. Lists provided to the APFA will not include any details or pricing information. The APFA will have the opportunity to add facilities to the list of those being considered. The parties will jointly inspect the proposed facilities (including any added to the list by the APFA). The Company will provide the APFA with a minimum of ten (10) days notice of any city or cities to be reviewed. c. The Company will consider all recommendations of the APFA and then select the facility to be used from those that are mutually acceptable to the Company and the APFA. It is the intent of the parties that representatives of the Company and the APFA's National Hotel Department reach agreement on the selection of the hotel/motel accommodations. If, however, there are no mutually acceptable facilities, the Company and the President of the APFA (or her/his designee) will meet to attempt to agree on a facility. If the Company and the President of the APFA (or her/his designee) cannot reach agreement, the Company will make the final determination. d. If the Company receives a report from the APFA's National Hotel Department of a problem with a facility or associated transportation arrangement, the Company will promptly investigate the reported problem and respond to the APFA within fifteen (15) calendar days on the results of its investigation and the actions being taken to resolve the problems that are confirmed by the Company.
