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.

Very few, but I don't have an exact number.

Their favorite thing to do was to find where big name hotels had bought older, failing hotels, and "renovated" them. You might see a hotel brand listed that you like, but arrive to something less than desirable.

I haven't stayed in a Microtel or Guesthouse Suites here at Mesa, yet, but I haven't flown the whole system yet either. There is a difference in quality, but my 2¢ is that it's not as big as it was being made out to be.

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.
Yea I'm brand new to the airlines and have my head in the sand. Somehow I got 3 type ratings and 6,000+ 121 hours by magic. Your full of �� About two of the regionals you said have great hotels. I worked for two of them and we stay at alot of the same hotels! The crappy one in Pitt is a republic hotel. The people complaining about abq... Try staying at the ghetto republic hotel there. Pear tree ghetto inn was a gojet, republic, and us airways hotel. I would love nicer hotels, but don't act like everyone has it much better.
