Unless you get the long, which are kinda hard to come by, a good portion of our overnights suck location wise. A lot like what you said, hotels in business parks, middle of no where near the airport etc. some of the new overnights coming out of Atlanta are not bad. But overall the hotel language in the contract needs a compete overhaul. 200 overnights are usually on the shorter side, like 11-13 hours and 900 is more like 13-15. Not uncommon to get 17-19. Cant speak for like holders how much they get he long stay which is 20+.
Biggest issue is the FA always seem to get a big say in where we stay or move to. And their opinion is basically a 2 minute van ride and microwaves in the room and a Waffle House to walk to. Where as most of the pilots wouldn’t mind a 10-15 minute ride where there is things to do or eat at. We do have some pretty good overnights though. JAX ans AGS come to mind. Others aren’t bad. But I’ve come to think of a gas station that has a subway in it as a luxury on overnights now
