We get what we deserve. I'll vote for a pilots (whatever ALPA can negotiate) hotel and a FA (whatever their crack arse union can get) hotel.
Loose: DTWgstan, BOS short,DEN crack, IAH....all I can think of.
Problem was, it wasn't 20 minutes! It was more like 45! And after walking from the satellite terminal, waiting for the van and actually arriving it was 1.5 hr + from block in. Screw that noise; good riddance. That would be like ACY/DTW crew landing in FLL then being driven to West Plam Beach for the layover. Why land in one city, then DRIVE to another for the hotel?! I love long van rides with multiple interstate travel; while listening to FA's yap on their phone or tell some story about how they got all tough with a pax in the emergency exit row who wasn't listening to them....
