Your guess is as good as mine. Not being at the GO those hotels won't work without a ride.
There was a hotel that provided a shuttle to the SSS for the SkyWest guys. Maybe that's an option.

It's a great group of pilots to work with. Everybody knows about the pay. It'll improve with a new contract. Till then....it is what it is.

You NEED the hours TT. On the other hand - Spirit has lowered their TT to 2000, and pays better.
