Question: did we change the long layover in DTW? I see a trip with 25 hr layo, that says Marriot Renaiss... anyone know where this is? I ask because I do NOT want to layover in actual DTW, and I like the Livonia spot with movies and bar.
Thx!

--edit... googled it and it appears to be downtown DTW at the waterfront! W T F, no one actually wants to be IN DTW! Is the hotel committee on crack, and hoping to score from the hotel??

Had the Lavonia layover recently and the van driver mentioned the move, but said that we should really like the new location. I guess we'll see...

Does the hotel committee actually pick the hotels? My understanding was someone from the GO had a cushy job where they are wined and dined by the hotels they're reviewing but maybe that's an urban legend. We stay at nice hotels on the domestic side but some of the locations are sorry. We had better overnights on the regional side but I guess it was because they were picked by pilots?

The 88 bid packet on July 24 shows Livonia.

Yeah, I heard we were moving. The July LAX 73 bid package has us at downtown. Bummer.

On a similar note, why did we change our MIA hotel? The new place blows and is in the middle of nowhere. I loved the old place!!

Never stayed in Livonia but NWA crews use to stay at the Renaissance downtown. Great hotel, close to the ballpark and Greektown. Lots of good restaurants. Give it a chance, you might like it. BTW, retirement is great!

Our GS's here on the 88 are flowing. Just like Aspen, where the beer flows like wine. And I want to put myself in position later in the month to GS.
Thinking GS would pay double in Jun, then pay single if you are on "off" days in JUL for the carry-in, or if on resrv the first few days in JUL, nothing extra since you are on call anyway.

If I put in a personal drop and an x-day move for the same day which one will be processed first?

A front desk clerk at the Marriot Livonia told me that we are leaving the hotel because Marriot wanted to raise the price it charges Delta by $12/night. Renaissance gave Delta a better deal, hence the change. This clerk said they were disappointed to see us go.
