Am I the only one that hates the ORD layover? Seriously.. A 30 hour layover in Rosemont? Sweet. I'm so pumped to go grab dinner at Toby Keith's bar and grill I can hardly stand it. On a side note, every single first year Great Lakes BE1900 FO is making $112 in holiday pay today. 100% of NK pilots are making $0 in holiday pay today.

Our hotel situation is turing a descent gig into a miserable experience out on the road.

Don't care about the length of the van ride as long as it takes us somewhere interesting. On the other hand, if it involves a 45 minute van ride to a mall and more chain restaurants than that is indeed a problem.

Nope! I knew full well when I became an airline pilot it wouldn't be a 9-5 weekday only job, that there would be times I would work odd hours, weekends and holidays. The fact that Great Lakes is getting extra pay on Labor Day is good for them, but I don't care, I get extra pay on the important holidays and our contract is better than ours in every other factor. And Rosemont doesn't bother me either I just wish our lines wouldn't get to ORD so late.

I don't hang around the hotel in IAH or LAX either. Both have plenty of options and places and things to do that are not around the area of the hotel.
DTW is harder. I haven't figured out how to get away from the hotel.

It may, or may not, have been a mistake to not get a compensation agreement in writing prior to allowing the release. The truth is it's impossible for us to tell if the release is helping us with negotiations or not. You can arm chair quarterback our leadership all you want, but nothing comes of this but division and hostility. Some of you guys seem like you want the pilot group to be divided. I thought that was managements job?
Our leadership will get a chance to be judged dependent on the quality of the TA they bring us. If it is a poor TA, we should react and remove and replace. But until then, what good does the constant undermining do for us as a pilot group?

I guess so. I like the ORD layover in Rosemont. Don't hang out in Rosemont for 30 hours if you don't like it there. There's plenty of places and options to go in Chicago. Start by asking the ORD based FAs if you don't have any ideas.
