I don't mean this as a personal attack, but it really is okay to demand a certain standard in our accommodations. We are educated, trained professionals who not only spent a lot of money and worked hard to get here, but made other sacrifices along the way to get to this point. Don't discount that and settle for less. The days of bending over to please management are over. Embrace the change.

Have more respect for yourself and for your profession.

I'm surprised you can read the screen from way up on that high horse.

You can leave ELP five minutes before show time and be on time.

You are a mgmt sympathizer. ABQ has better quality hotels that are closer to the airport and with better food options than your beloved Dion's. GuestHouse Suites is a complete joke. Linens and towels are from the 80's along with their soaps and shampoo. ELP has a Wyndam and a Marriott that are just as close and the Marriott has numerous restaurants nearby. Quit trying to justify and settle for these sub standard hotels. I'm not asking for a Ritz Carlton or Four Seasons. Clean, safe and a decent brand is all I want.

Are you chastising him? Yes Mesa has nice overnights in some cities, but on the other hand there are several hotels that need to go.

How low are you willing to go for JO? Red Roof Inn? Barn? Tent?

Would you work for free too?

Yawn.

Since you're clearly only interested in putting words in my mouth, here's what I actually think: regionals all need better hotels, pay, benefits, etc. You name it, it should be better, given what we do. We should absolutely fight for better pay and QOL, part of which is better hotels.

I'm only saying that in my experience, having flown for one of those regionals with nice hotels, the gap in quality is not tremendous.

It's hard for them to understand the difference because both have indoor plumbing.
