You can prove this to yourself by picking up some cheap UV beads at the science section in any bookstore.
Inflight take em out, and they will instantly fluoresce!

No more Austin, no more Atlanta, no more El Paso. It's slowly improving. Still far behind where it should be, yes, but our Hotel Committee's been doing a pretty good job as of late.
I'll also add that even the most universally detested of all properties barely get any official complaints relative to the total amount of crew members who stay at them, as evidenced by that nifty hotel report the company started sending out monthly. Typically there's less than 1 complaint filed per hundred overnights. That's pretty bad. I encourage everyone to bookmark the API CrewCare site and use it liberally.
