I was called on my cell phone as I was on the road traveling. I was told my reservation was being cancelled for duty requirments.   Anne L Evans Member Username: Anne_l_evans Post Number: 49 Registered: 01-2009 Posted From: 70.160.127.143 Posted on Thursday, June 17, 2010 - 12:44 pm:    I can't remember the exact wording but there is actually a sign inside Rota billeting something to the effect that one may have to vacate the room if a flight crew needs it. I've only been there once. Maybe someone who stayed there more often has seen this sign, too.

I think I've read that somewhere over the years but can't remember where. Lesson learned.   John Advanced Member Username: Jharpst Post Number: 230 Registered: 05-2006 Posted From: 68.102.36.111 Posted on Wednesday, June 16, 2010 - 08:04 pm:    YES Homestead AFB FL 2008   xLoadmaster,M.Lewis Advanced Member Username: Cblmelga Post Number: 163 Registered: 10-2008 Posted From: 76.17.91.102 Posted on Wednesday, June 16, 2010 - 06:33 pm:    Yes, RMS Sept. 2001, it can happen.   Gail Roman Member Username: Gailontherun Post Number: 36 Registered: 12-2008 Posted From: 99.35.20.112 Posted on Wednesday, June 16, 2010 - 12:11 pm:    I was holding reservations at the Gateway Inn at Souda Bay and recently received an email from them saying they had duty requirements for the lodging through July 25th. They gave me a list of hotels in town and offered to book reservations for me. (Of course during high season the hotels cost more than lodging - even though I assume the hotel rates they gave me are govt. rates.) Has anyone else been "bumped" out of booked space a lodging? I had never had it happen before! Thanks for any input!
