To those who transit SHV and the Clarion Hotel please take a few minutes to read this brief request.
The hotel administrators at FedEx Express are reaching a saturation point and your pilot ops reports (POR) are becoming redundant. Unless you have anything new, please refrain from submitting PORs for SHV for complaints involving:
--condition of rooms
--lack of courtesy shuttle service to anywhere other than to/from SHV airport
--hallway air conditioners/heaters
Sounds like time to double the amount of POR's

Our business isn’t as lucrative as we would like to think it is, therefore, many area hotels are not interested in accepting our business.
Let's see - we have a company reaping billions in profit and they can't pay the hotels a decent rate. This has been an ongoing problem, the company wants a guarantee the room will be available but if the flight gets cancelled they don’t want to pay for a room that wasn’t used. Who would want our business? A lot of hotels don’t even give you a newspaper because it was negotiated away to get a cheaper rate.
What a way to run an airline - OH I forgot - we are not a real airline and we are not real pilots
