U.S. airlines are limiting the number of crews that have to have layovers in Mexican cities, whether Mexico City or the resorts along the Pacific and Gulf of Mexico.

A friend of mine is a pilot with a major carrier, and he figures that the number of crews having layovers in Mexico is down by at least 75%. It's a concern by both management and the unions as to safety, both in areas where hotels are located, as well as shuttling crews between hotels and airports.
