True a room probably goes unused every night in CLT.

You could bank a couple hundred per month if you lived in Tucson with the number of overnights we have there.

That's not the point. The fact that they are offering money to not use hotels is embarrassing. Especially since it is worth more than an hour of flight pay for new FOs

Exactly, rather than fix the problem of some of our ****ty hotels they come up with this **** instead. Absolutely embarrassing.

So the company gives us money in lieu of a service we don't use, and now we get ****ed about it. Like when I overnight where my dad lives, and I stay with him instead of the crappy hotel, and pocket an extra $25, I should be ****ed? I don't understand that logic. Previously the company gave us nothing, now we get something.

If this new thing results in people sleeping in airports, couch surfing, etc., that's on the gross individuals, not the company (don't think it will). I wouldn't double up to save $25 either. My privacy is worth that.

Usually we complain when a company takes something away or implements a crappy non-optional policy. This is optional and can give us cash. I don't understand the complaints.

I'm right there with you. Nobody is forcing anybody to do anything here, and if people want to sleep with strangers or in the airport terminal then that is on them and they can suffer through it per their own choosing. But if I overnight where I live you can bet your ass I won't be using my room, and if the company wants to save a few bucks PER MY CHOICE then I don't see a huge problem.

I don't think it should be encouraged by the company but it's not a bad deal for those who already don't occupy a room on certain overnights.

Somebody explain to me why we're p-ssed off again? Because the company is offering financial incentives to reallocate an otherwise unused resource?

Rabble rabble! Where's my pitchfork?!

I think the complaints are more geared towards that now the company has an excuse for not updating some of the hotel choices. In which most (not all) are horrendous. I kind of think of it as a band-aid rather than fixing one of the problems which is ****ty hotels. Some of which make us pay for a cab if it's late enough and the hotel shuttle isn't running.
