Just in case there is any suspense about whether these things are good deals I'll go ahead and kill it now. I got bumped off a couple days flying which didn't give me enough time to go home and back in time for my next trip. No crash pad, no car, so I asked myself "how bad can they screw you during a 9:40 hotel standby?" The answer so far is over 14 hours of block on 6 legs on trips that tend to hangout in open time. I had the misfortune of getting a late bump off my last trip which allowed them to add even more to my night time tour of the lower 48.
Yeah, I know. I was stupid. I earned my pain. But I will just throw out there that unless you really need block hours, and love flying crappy trips, I'd recommend avoiding the MEM hotel standbys. Bad deal.
