Glad our MEC seized the opportunity to LOA the hotel-buyback program, ensuring that a share of the company's cost-savings would go back into the hotel budget.
Oh wait--they didn't...because people who think like RV5M/Sennant/Giggity were running things. Ughhhhhh.

I think the majority complaining about hotels are brand new 121 fos. The hotels suck at every regional. That's the reality and the only place that has some of the best hotels is on its death bed. Y'all really think beagle, psa, father b and TSA & co stay at 5 star resorts?
The comfort hotels discount rocks. I used it in Europe and saved 250 bucks a night.

Have some more respect for yourselves, guys--we're airline pilots regardless of who or what we work for. Better hotels won't bankrupt the company.

Man! throw these guys a chew toy.
MESA PEOPLE OBVIOUSLY CANT HAVE NICE THINGS
They'd be beside themselves if you gave them something nice. Defenders of casino hotels and choice hotels discounts. I bet you guys love that 1-800 FTD florist discount too.

It's like trying to explain the difference between a Marriott and a Microtel to someone who grew up in a hut in the Congo. There's no way to explain it.

Him*, and it was tempting.
Not true. One easy example is that Envoy stays the same place as us in GSO.
How about Mesa's hotel in LBB? That place rocks! The workout room is great, the college is nearby, and there's all the food options you could want within walking distance.
Or the new hotel in BJX? With the casino next door serving cheap food and drinks, and a number of other restaurants and bars on the block.
Or the one in QRO where they'll take you downtown for a tip and you can explore the old city and eat at the 1810?
Sure, other regionals may have a better ratio of hotels that most people might prefer, but Mesa ain't that bad. No one is saying ours are superior at Mesa. The gap in quality isn't as large as you make it out to be.

Endeavor uses API also and stays almost exclusively in Courtyards in every city we overnight in.
Have more respect for yourself and for your profession.

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.

Yes, all the hotels could be better, but what's awful about either of those? They're just budget hotels. ABQ is fine and has Dion's right next door, plus a couple other restaurants, and ELP is two seconds from the airport and is also a clean economy hotel (with crappy internet). You can leave ELP five minutes before show time and be on time.
