Oh, trust the bean counters to save a dollar here or there at our expense. My airline crew were staying down at Causeway Bay for almost thirty years. Then, a smart alec decided that, hey, we can save on transport AND hotel charges if we house the crew at Regal at the airport! The crew will love it there. They'll get crew discounts at the restaurants. Plus, you get a free ride to the city a day.
After much fist pounding, management said fine. If you don't like the noise at the airport, or the fact that the only view you get from your room is more airplanes, we'll put you at a nice quiet place. NORTHERN TERRITORIES!
Thank God the CAA decided to step in, and at least we're in Kowloon.
Oh, and someone saved a dollar a day per crew from our DFW hotel bill by making sure we do not get the complementary breakfast by the hotel.
