Great answers guys I guess I’m a moron for wondering. Mods delete this thread. Tell me more about how I should do something else instead.

have you considered golfing this week instead?

I’ve never understood why everyone is so antsy to do their taxes. If you’ve got your tax deductions dialed in correctly you should only get a small amount back. If you’re getting a bunch back, you gave the government an interest-free loan for the whole year. Plus anyone with 1099’s from investments likely won’t receive those until some time in February. What’s the rush?

Maybe some people, like me, don’t care that you are giving Uncle Sam a loan tax free and would rather have a lump of cash back at the end of the year, rather than getting a little more each paycheck.

I wanted to buy some new irons with that interest free loan money.

JFC I just asked a question. Deleted the WhatsApp stuff years ago. Let’s talk about something else. How about that ORD hotel
movement?

Are we really moving ORD hotels? F’n hate Rosemont. I hope you’re not kidding

I was just booked there two nights ago. Got moved to the Embassy with no notice. Didn’t know until we called for the shuttle. In fact, both full crews of FAs and pilots had no idea. Perfect for our 0100 arrival. Luckily it’s the same shuttle, I guess.

I hope people expressed this in the hotel survey. I still don’t know how that qualifies as a long stay requirement.

Curious why some don’t like Rosemont. That bar/restaurant district just past the parking garage is nice.

I agree. You want to sit in traffic for an hour and a half each way be my guest. Take a cab or the train. I love rosemont. The double tree is starting to show its age admittedly but there are newer or renovated options in the area. Over 20-40 years after you’ve seen it a couple times what is the draw to sit in traffic to downtown Chicago when you can’t even leave to hotel half the year because it’s stupid cold.

LGA was different because there was nothing next to the Spring Hill. The drive to manhattan makes me want to slit my wrists though. New hotel is nice.

BOS on the other hand- all layovers should be at the Park Plaza. Even trade for ORD

and anyone that put on the survey that a courtyard or hampton inn is an acceptable hotel for any overnight needs to be tarred and feathered. All overnights short or long should be 4-5 diamond properties. Westin etc per the example.
