You guys are making the hotel key thing a way bigger deal than it is. I don't mind filling it out and I also don't mind picking the best room for myself. If I know the hotel, I will take the most desirable room and if I don't, I make sure to stick the CA and FA together and myself on the opposite side.

I've always figured that the cpt doesn't want to fill out the form and no one trusts the FA enough so it just gets assigned to the FO. Really not a big deal at all.
