Yup. No shower for me in the morning means no worky. That's an easy fatigue call and VFR direct to domicile in my civies with a prophylactic swipe of deodorant. Unacceptable in our work environment.

Agreed. No chance in hell I would be walking to another hotel to shower.

They were told the hotel made arrangements for them to shower nextdoor. In 3 showers for 12 of them. No water to flush toilets or brush teeth for 4+ hours. SWA is ok with this solution. Of course our already agreed to language in the new contract. Wont prevent us from staying at these lousy 135 frieght type hotels.
I did 135 freight and never had a hotel like that. In fact there is not much improvement in hotels via career improvement.
in fact after my last 4 day where only 1 hotel I'd actually stay at on my own I'm pretty much a no regardless of what's in the contract.
I'm so tired of slumming it.

That hotel is a dump. You need a shower every time you walk in there. It is one of the worse in the system and I honestly can't believe we still stay there.
If someone told me that I needed to take a shower somewhere else, my next call would have been fatigue for the rest of the trip. What a joke. Even in the military, we relocated when there was no running water.
