ORD has gotten a few new bad ones, mostly in Michigan

DTW one sounds great in theory, hotel right on the airport and they have KCM right in the hotel. Oops no it's not a Delta trip so you're in the terminal where you have to take a shuttle that's less teliable than most hotel shuttles

There's KCM in a hotel? Really? This I must see...

It's actually pretty nice. For a short overnight, it's kind of a cool setup except for the fact that I'm always operating out of the other terminal and I have to take that unreliable shuttle.

A stand-up to another crew base?
Did the flight-benefits department take over pairings generator!?

It can take a while to be able to reliably hold them. They are pretty easy to give away. They are pretty popular.

Out west they credit ~4:44, so they're ... not so popular.

That's kind of a generalization. There are stand ups crediting over 7 on the left coast.

Hmm, my entire month is split-duties all with credit at least 6:00. And I'm as far west as we get.

I think the point is some people love them, and some people can't deal with the minimal rest. I really wish they wouldn't CN stand-ups to the latter.
