End result--we end up in Microtels/LaQuintas/budget hotels. Partly because flight attendants go crazy if they don't have a microwave in their room to heat up their canned beans/disgusting mac & cheese from QuikTrip.

I recently witnessed two of my FAs going crazy on the DoubleTree TUL in a hissy fit b/c they didn't have any rooms with microwaves in them (the front desk pointed out there are microwaves in the business center/lounge which anyone is free to use anytime).

We also recently lost the Wyndham PIT--and are now in a DAYS INN--all because some IAD FAs being ratchet ghetto thugs with the Wyndham van driver for not taking them somewhere to eat late at night. Ughhhhhhhhh.

The PIT Wyndham wasn't the best hotel in the system, but it was at least tolerable/reasonable. But now we're in a 1-star ghetto Days Inn--awesome, FAs! Thanks! THANKS.
