Aaaaand we lost the Four Points Sheraton MCI.
PIT, CLT, MCI, etc.--seems like they just keep whittling down the hotel standards over and over and all you new hires just keep piling in here like lemmings thinking you're gonna upgrade in 18 months...sigh
Personally, I like to feel comfortable that I'm still disease-free if the need arises to walk to the bathroom barefoot, but it looks like our new hotel in MCI has 106 of 202 Trip Advisor reviews of "Terrible" and something like bottom-5% of Trip Advisor rankings for the entire area.

I just stayed at the Sheraton MCI last week.

Yup, we can't seem to be keeping up with the attrition. Been hovering around 1200 pilots for as long as I've been keeping track (the last 7 months).

It changes to a nonbranded dump next month...look it up on the hotel list/PBS pairings for next month, and google the TripAdvisor reviews for it--sounds horrible:
Here is an essentially random sampling of quotes from countless "terrible" TripAdvisor reviews and photo captions:
"Just don't"
"Run not walk away from this hotel"
"Nasty!! Filthy, grungy. Run away from this one."
And the best comment for our new MCI hotel on TripAdvisor?: "Worst hotel I've stayed at in my 59 years."
Bye bye Four Points Sheraton!!! Hope you enjoyed your nights at that acceptable hotel while it lasted, El Dorado.

Why are pilots still coming to Mesa?
Lowest pay rate in the industry...no new contract in the near future...quick upgrade is gone...ALPA not defending our pilots and our worthless contract...slow attrition...and more.
Do not respond if you're a Kool-aid drinking management cheerleader.

Only quick upgrade is if you have the 121 time from another carrier. And it's only on the CRJ for now. There are 200+ guys coming up on their 1000 hours in the next few months and most are wanting the EJET.

Major SJS! Especially when the majority tout the fact that you need to get in, get your time and get out of Mesa. However these are same people that proceed to wait and wait all the while making excuses for why they do not want the CRJ for upgrade. Literally pilots hired around the May 2015 mark have taken the upgrade award on the CRJ. Meanwhile droves of qualified guys hang on for the EJET all the while stating that they can't wait to get out of Mesa.
Cue the excuses.
