Ok, the CAA stepped in by saying that we should not be at the Regal Hotel. Based on the some literature about how we are psychologically 'not at rest' because we are still in the vicinity of our work place, being exposed to the sounds and sights of the airport and airplanes. Some psychologist may be able to explain better.
However, although the bean counters wanted us to go to the Northern Territories, some guys from the Flight Ops and the union tried out the hotel and they decided that the area is not fit for stay. Even the Flight Ops thought so. Really says something.
