If you have a 30 hour layover somewhere, are you really okay spending it at an airport hotel? That's torture to me, and that's the reason all other major airlines send their pilots to downtown hotels in Chicago, New York, Philadelphia (our hotel is pretty good), etc. Why should we be any different?
i dont care how long the overnight is. 10-15 min van ride max is ideal for me. landing at midnight, riding 45-1hr to a hotel for a 14-15hr overnight is just dumb. i do not go to work to explore or shop. i know plenty of guys that do, but it would be nice to have the option to switch hotels (maybe restrict it to 24-48 hrs prior to that ron). IAH hotel is nice but the drive is just a waste
