You guys get decent hotels on your trips? I only ask because hotel seems to be one of the biggest complaint from Mesa guys on their thread.

Many reasons to sell, only one reason to buy and that's if you think its going up. So while I'd like to see some management purchases, I don't get too upset on a partial sell, heck, it wasn't a lot of money and he may have been buying a car.

I'm buying some more RJET stock next week if it stays $2.00 or under. The risk reward is getting to where its worth a shot,

My buddy hired last week got a mid February class date. Where is that intel coming from that full til end of April?!

We have a couple of outliers that aren't great, but for the most part we stay in fairly nice places. Doubletree's, Crown Plaza's, Sheratons, Holiday Inn/ Express for the most part. Also a few Hiltons and Westin's now. The worst we have in my opinion is the quality inn in TLH. Other people hated Salvatore's in BUF but I don't think we stay there anymore.

Overall I don't have a lot of complaints, the Hotel Quality Handbook (new under our CBA) should be done shortly, we'll see if that changes anything.

Our hotels are pretty much a non-issue (i.e. they are overall excellent); to repeat what T.T. stated.

Couple of exceptions: LAN, MBS. OMG!
Not sure if we even stay there any longer though.

Basically, Delta sold Mesaba to Pinnacle, ran us into a sham BK, used the cash to payoff execs and Colgan victims, then DAL bought us back outta BK for pennies on the dollar--and now that company is called Endeavor.

Basically a leveraged buyout...aka legal money laundering/theft.

Colgan was insured under Delta's umbrella policy. No out of pocket costs other than premiums. Liability insurance was $1B.

Did you really just use the word "excellent" when referring to the hotels? Well, you see something new every day.

I don't consider the Carlingview (YYZ), Best Western (MSP), Double Tree in PHL, La Quinta (anywhere), or Holiday Inn (STL) or the Super 8 (training) to be "excellent" and I know I'm not alone.

Really? RAH trainee gets Super 8? Is this at IND or during Flight Safety? Please tell me Super 8 is better than Motel 6 ?!?
