Also, FAs make crap for money... Having the fridge/microwave probably saves $$

Their rest rules are abysmal....

Although I can understand wanting a simpler hotel with a fridge/microwave in the room. It's more about location. A hampton inn downtown or near a lot of stuff is a fine compromise.

FIFY.

I know of one mainline carrier where the sky servers are sent off one way while the pilots are sent to a separate hotel.

If you are referring to DL, there are short layover hotels and long layover hotels. The pilots trigger to get a long layover hotel is shorter than the FA's. If both the pilots and FA's are on a long layover they go to the same hotel with a few exceptions.

That must have been years ago. When I was there pilots and FA were at the Club Quarters in the financial district. Tiny rooms but great location. One of my top 5 favorite overnights. I miss mainline flying
