I worked for two of them and we stay at alot of the same hotels! The crappy one in Pitt is a republic hotel. The people complaining about abq... Try staying at the ghetto republic hotel there. Pear tree ghetto inn was a gojet, republic, and us airways hotel. I would love nicer hotels, but don't act like everyone has it much better.
So you're at your third regional? That says something. Draw your own conclusion.
Bottom line, we stay at a lot of trucker hotels. If you get a crappy nights sleep, called fatigued. PAX safety is more important than the company making a buck. I'm sad some don't see this. It's your certificate on the line. I've stranded 3 planes in my career with the company for a justifiable reason.
If you feel there may be an unsafe/violating condition, fill out an ASAP report. That is what they are there for. It's amazing how quick the company corrects unsafe conditions when the Feds become aware of the situation.
Just my 2 cents. Don't sell yourself short.
