I have noticed a lot of our hotels getting progressively worse. We have some very nice hotels and I always look at those trips more closely and pickup based on it. We also have lots of dumps. Lesser quality than I saw regularly at skywest. It makes me feel like I am not a professional staying at these crappy $100 a night hotels.

If the C suite or company negotiating committee wouldn't stay there, then we shouldn't have to.
I am assuming a lot of these crappy hotels could change if it was just the pilots staying. Add in all of the FAs and its a lot more expensive and why we don't get to stay at nicer hotels. We need to be separated from them.
