Unfortunately, instead of working with the company and getting something that works for everyone, they take a hard line and spin it as a win. No matter how much the line pilot doesn't want the one hour plus taxi ride at the end of a 12+ hour flight. The egotist at the hotel committee refuse to accept their role in making our lives worse.
