Not ideal but some things we have to rely on the company to work out on our behalf.

My suggestion is that we order catering which can be available to us at the hotel upon check in. I’m a few days into my trip and these granola/protein bars and oatmeal pack go fast when seating in a room for couple days at a time.

In the cities where we have multiple hotels (Los Angeles) we need to consolidate hotels, thereby one hotel has more people staying in it and less likely to close. They would be able to keep a kitchen open for room services

Or put your schedule in open time - plenty of folks would be fine with that as well.

Made multiple phone calls today to Westdrift hotel, crew scheduling and flight services. There is no food near the Westdrift open. They will not give access to a microwave. Only option for now is Uber Eats.
Also called the Hyatt House Indy. Food options a plenty there!!

i was just recently in a hotel that has about 300 rooms. the desk receptionist said 48 rooms were occupied, of which more than half were aircrew. I know AA was staying there. The hotel restaurant was shut down.
