Gym was great as was the lounge/restaurant but really drab and depressing area

The lines in FLL are okay. But, there's a lot of relief lines this month. N

Wait, what? The old MSP airport hotel sucked balls for a long layover. You guys have no idea how much fun downtown Minneapolis can be.

Wait! What?? Old hotel 8 min away is just fine.

It's fine for a short layover...anything longer needs to be downtown. Those of us that are not counting the days until retirement might actually enjoy it.

Yup!

Slam clickers dont care where we stay, for the most part, because they never leave the room.

Those who like to socialize a little and get out enjoy nicer surroundings to partake in such activities.

Always find it funny how an extra 15 minutes in a van is enough to make it "not worth" staying in a nicer location for a 22 hour layover.

Looks like we are not the only company who devalues their customer service employees...

United Airlines could outsource up to 2,000 airport jobs

For the scheduling gurus: I have a 1 day trip scheduled to end at 23:59. For February bidding purpose; since the :30 min post-flight puts this into an additional day on flica--do I assume its counted as a day of work or not?

Looking at the contract language and leaning towards "Not" based on 12-E-2. But this is where looking at the Flica calendar one can really get burned because it shows one thing, and in reality, is another.

Thanks...BB
