Exactly.

If more pilots dealt with "situations" the way Shrek did, we'd have far fewer "situations" to deal with in the first place.

Pilots who enable noncompliance simply propagate the noncompliance. It's a non-virtuous circle.

I completely agree - pilots who don't enforce the contract weakens it for the rest

Honestly I just try to apply a litmus test of reasonability to the situation. Getting transportation on our own or walking to another hotel are completely valid if they aren't complied with via the UPA. I've done it myself in the past and have no issue whatsoever.

Expensing a $50 steak dinner because one doesn't think the chocolate truffle desert is a "full" desert but yet the rest of the meal was completely fine is not reasonable IMO. Expensing the priciest means of transpo from DEN to TK when the shuttle schedule has been published under the training tab in content locker for years is not reasonable IMO.

That's my point.

As I said - no issue with "enforcement" my man.

The MEC Hotel Committee disagrees:

"Dozens of PDR's indicate overcrowded vans, resulting in late or missed transfers. The MEC Hotel Committee recommends pilots avail themselves immediately to alternate transportation and expense via Usource if UPA compliant transportation is not available."

UPA compliant = leaving no later than 30 minutes after block in, straight to the hotel.

As for Uber vs. cab vs. black car, the company provides black car service in most places. Why should I not use that as the standard for replacement service? We're highly trained, highly compensated professionals. We don't need to settle for less.
