Your name-calling aside, if you don't want to be looked at or treated like K-Mart/Applebees/dollar store level pilots, don't have Applebees specifically mentioned as an acceptable layover dining option.

Quite honestly it's embarrassing, and I'm certain United/Delta/etc would fire their entire NC if they dared disrepsect their profession by including such a "restaurant" (using that term loosely) in the hotel standards. It has less to do with Applebees itself rather than the general level you see yourselves and how the company views you. That is precisely seeing the forest for the trees. Please leave your ULCC mindset behind if the court allows this acquisition.
