What happened to the other place? Let me guess...they finished the renovations and kicked us out to accommodate more toothless tattooed Cockney tourists.

Go to the DALPA forum and read the thread about it in the hotel section.

According to the hotel committee, the long MCO layover was the most complained about in the system. It was a nice place, just kind of isolated with not much around it. Now, we have a crappy place, kind of isolated, with not much around it.

I liked it...with the possible exception of the toothless tattooed Cockneys.

Not sure I like the sound of that. I had heard this AE was supposed to be the beginning phase of top heavy fat staffing for widebodies, but the proposed rules would likely do nothing but decrease widebody relief FO postions (no, not all, but some) while barely, if at all, increasing narrowbody positions...more so at regulation redline regionals and far, far less at legacies with at least some work rules in their PWA's which would already comply with many or even most of the new proposals.

Maybe the ATA is getting some feedback from their lobbyist henchmen that the F&DT regs are going to be more management friendly than we seem to think they will be.
