Agreed. If your hotels are deteriorating you have one or both of these problems:
1. Your contract doesn't require 1st class hotels.
2. Your Union's hotel committee isn't doing its job.
Both are fixable.

TPIC is important unless you have some heavy duty inernal recs.

1- you request the 7/7 before IOE, which may or may not be approved
2- you bid the 7/7 during ANY bid period (you will always be awarded it if you want it.)
3- You get kicked off of it during a flush bid because you don't have the seniority to hold it.
Are you talking seat bids or line bids?
