Default Handicap rooms

QX crews are consistently getting put into Handicap rooms in several of our hotels. Are any other crews getting same treatment or are we just "special?"

Hotels give crews rooms people don't want. They know we will be back the next day, and the day after, and the day after that. Half of these regional companies won't switch hotels over legitimate complaints like bed bugs, dirty rooms, rediculoulsy uncomfortable beds, no hot water, etc., so they certainly wont change over dumb things like handicap rooms. Whereas thier regular customers are going to be pi $$ ed if they have to deal with having one of those sinks with nowhere to even set their toothbrush, and will go and write a nasty review online and may not return.

Used to happen when I was at XJT. I wouldn't say it was common but it wasn't infrequent either. Heck, at Delta now and the captain got one the other night.

That is one good thing about our pilot group; many of us will call in fatigue or raise massive stink if the rooms are grossly inadequate.

I'm asking about the handicap rooms because it is a recent phenomenon with us. We went from getting these type of rooms occasionally to getting them every night. It's also against the law for the hotels to give out these rooms before all the other rooms are taken. There are disabled people who make a living out of finding ways to sue hotels for breaking the ADA law. I kind of wish one of those bottom feeders would hear about it.

You can always say no. I get the noisiest rooms in the world usually.

If it bothers you, turn in your wings and get a normal job

If it bothers you that much just go back to the desk and say you want a new room. Simple as that. I had one last week and the shower head didn't go higher than my stomach. Those rooms are a pain.

Do you have any sort of reference to back this up? In my experience accessible rooms go to air crews and Priceline customers.

Secondly, what is your objection to accessible rooms?
