Sure there are a bunch of good restaurants around the CLT hotel, but there are also a bunch of better hotels right around there too. I think there is too many pilots who just have given up on hope that the hotels will get better, and thats really unfortunate. PSA management sent an email to their pilot group saying that they would no longer be staying in Choice Hotel brands, because the quality is not where they should be. At Mesa, every month we seem to be staying at more. Why are they not good enough for other regionals, but at Mesa its acceptable. It shouldn't be like that guys!
For the same reason mesa starts at $22.18 an hour while others start anywhere from $29-$40.
