Sorry to cause an argument, I'm just trying to find somewhere nice to stay in L.A. I'm thinking The Sofitel LA in West Hollywood, but I've never been there so I don't know and thought I'd see where the crew stay. They don't seem to be giving a discount though to airline crew.
And I totally support you lowerlobe, those in the office really have no idea what it's like to live out of a hotel room on bare essentials and out of a suitcase.
Sure they give you allowances, but what's the point when you can't spend them on basic essentials that you need on a day to day basis.
