Hi Dea,
I believe 2001 was held in Pittsburgh and 2002 was held in SFO.
ITrade,
Crew members would die and think they had gone to heaven if they overnighted in a $209 hotel room. The rooms we occupy are in the $30-40 range.

The point was that the BOD is not holding its annual at the Ritz Carleton Boca Raton or at the Lansdowne resort in Leesburg, VA. Since the hotel is owned by RSA, I am sure the rates are lower than the quote price.
On the other hand, the US crews aren''t necessarily staying in Motel 6 in every city. The FAs at ANU stay at a nice all-inclusive resort where the negotiated rate is $80 a day (probably negotiated from $160 a night). The Tuscany in Las Vegas, considered by AFA for LAS overnights, lists rooms from $89 - $159 per night.
The PIT Hilton lists November rates from $99.00 to $134.00 a night.
