That will never happen though.
You’re forgetting the simple issue; so many of our group wants a 5 minute shared shuttle ride to the airport, hotel happy hour, free breakfast, and shuttles that run on the half hour.
Remember when we switched from the Holiday inn in LGA? Guys were upset they lost their $9 hamburger meal at the Holiday Inn. Why stay in the city with the best food in the world when you can have a $9 Holliday Inn burger in Queens.
Like I said...ask 2200 pilots....get 2200 responses.
