One time they did it on the wrong day and then refused to change it because it was too expensive (it was they're fault, not mine). Another time they refused to do it at all (long story).

Also, MOST of our hotels are NOT suites. The only ones I've been to that have this are FLL, BLI, and LAS. The rest were regular hotel rooms.

I'm not going to get into a spat with anyone but if you've never been TDY'd you don't really know this company. Don't get me wrong I don't wish the TDY on anyone that doesn't want it. But living in base on the AB and not being TDY'd (like I suspect some of the pro-G4 guys on here are) is like working for a totally different company than having been TDY'd all over the country on the MD-80.
I think VBD experiences vary as well depending on where you live. I know someone that lives at home and is home every night but is VBD "based".
