You aren't the exception. I like having something to do if I am stuck someplace for a long overnight. I really hope we don't change the LAX, IAH, or DFW longs. I don't mind the van ride either as long as we don't have a really early report the next day. Perhaps they could be changed on longs only if the report time in the AM is before say 8 or 9 AM.

Am I the only person who is really ****ed about 45 + minute van rides to the airport and hotel because our stupid hotel committee sets us up in hotels that are 40 miles away. We're crew members on an overnight..... put us in the same damn state as the airport when we have a 5:30 show time. Hell at least give us the option of the short stay. FFS people if this ****es you off too , email your rep and tell them it's BS.

I don't mind the lax, as those are usually 22+ hours. But IAH with a 14 hour overnight spending 1-2 hours on the road stinks. And usually ungodly early in the am. There are much better options for that one.

Careful what you wish for in LAX. We stay by the water, whereas many crews stay in Downtown LA. And trust me, the last thing we need is another Downtown overnight. Give me some scenery and a place to walk around without traffic and crowds. (Seattle long, I'm looking at you.)

Long Beach & Denver (long) are two of my top five faves!! Does it suck getting up early, yes.... BUT, I'd rather stay there, brew a cup of coffee for the early van ride, than stay near the airport. You want airport hotel overnights, go to a regional airline! I'm done with that ****.
I would prefer the Westin Long Beach over the Hilton, but, to each their own....

This would be ideal. Allow those that need a mall, a galleria, a Broadway show, and a family reunion on their overnight to have it and allow some of us to avoid 2+ hours in a van.
