Fried Chicken? Hell I’ve just been going to the Whisky River up the street. Trust me—it’s worth it.

Nailed it!

But strangely I like it. Maybe it reminds me of being at grandmas house.

REdRUM! REdRUM!

I feel like Jack Torrance every time I stay at the Overlo ... I mean, the Grand.

But the breakfast across the street at Little America makes it worth the night terrors.

White horse next door is no slouch either.

It's all relative I suppose: relative to the median SWA overnight hotel. So, the SLC Grand America is one of my favorite hotels in the system not because it's where I'd choose to stay on vacation but, really, because the overall quality of most of our overnight hotels is so poor.

I can't remember the exact reason why SWAPA chose not to participate in the CAB, but it was in the 2000's when that decision was made. SWAPA was especially company-friendly back then. Why it's not a priority now to get retake some voice or control over the CAB is beyond me.

it’s not the cameras that bother me, it’s not getting paid for being watched that pi$$es me off.

What ****es me off is all that time spent in hotels and not getting paid for it. Well, of course, if you consider the $2 or so in per diem, but that doesn’t cut it for me.

Think about it: you’re only getting paid from door shut to open. The rest of the time you’re effectively working for free in a form of indentured servitude. That’s why I hate hotels and traveling with a passion: I’m not getting paid for it!

Makes me realize what a freaking sucker I was all those years.

If you truly work for Southwest, you’re making far more money than most people in this country. You’re also working far less than all of them. You want to experience suck, talk to some regional peers. Even better, expand your horizon beyond aviation. What a cry baby.
