Would that depend on what your definition of ‘is’ is? 😜 I presume that by ‘objectively’ they mean not subject to an opinion or bias. It just is industry leading. Let’s see the details.

With respect to co-terminals, we’ve beaten that one into the ground. You’re absolutely right it’ll affect every base. The company will make that flying happen, period. We’ll have more DFW, ORD and IAH layovers. We’ll have early originators and we’ll have terminators at all 3. The question is which base(s) will have the increase in pairings to cover those airports and which bases stagnate as a result. If you’re say in PHX or BNA, you have every reason to be opposed to co-terminals because you’d get the increased flying to cover those 3 airports, ergo more lines, quicker seniority progression, while someone based at MDW, DAL or HOU would stagnate because those places are tapped out for growth.

With hotels, I don’t sherpa my food. I don’t bring my own hibachi. I couldn’t care less about fridge in the room. I’m over Doubletrees or Hyatt Places or airport dive hotels with zero food options. I realize FA’s have different priorities and they’re more than welcome to them. I don’t share their priorities and I don’t care for waiting for them on already short layovers. I ESPECIALLY can’t stand sitting in a crew van with my crew waiting for one more crew, only for someone to need a cab because we’re full. Seriously over that BS! Last time, I took a cab, and got reimbursed for it.

Like I said, lots of ambiguities that need to be clarified.
