we stay at nice hotels , except jfk ( 5 towns) as Rama said. I think every cago carrier stays there, it sucks, but at Polar you rarely see Jfk.
everywhere overseas is really nice 4 or 5 star , the only crappy one is Japan's Hollyday Inn ( delta, quantas and filipines stay there too) and that will be changing soon.
I don't know if they are hiring. the way they interview now is for both Polar and Atlas and then you are offer a class for one of them, so when you interview you don't knw what you are going to be offered. like I said before, is way better than working for the regionals , but there is still a lot to improve.
