Not too sure about this. The myth is far removed from reality. Yes, there are a few here and there that drink their fair share, but most do not. Most realize that they have to be up the next morning back at the mind numbing task of sitting though another 10+ hrs of a MEC meeting, or a middle seat across country after the meeting is over.

If we are going to publish this data it needs to be meaningful. To me this just looks like a lot of numbers.

* Of note there are many events that are not meetings that have hospitality suites; for example the Professional Standards meeting, and many Flight Operations Personnel are there as well. It is necessary to have a venue like this, because frankly that is where all of the work gets done.
