I know it's not really the right section if the forums, but it's urgent.

My buddy starts RSV in FAT, the day after tomorrow.
He's been trying for 2 weeks to find a place (since getting done with IOE).

One just shut down, 2 are full.
He's in a real hard place.
Does anyone know of a CP in FAT with vacancies?
Or even a room for rent?

Any help appreciated!

He needs to go the crew lounge in FAT or call the admin. Crashpads are hard to come by, but rooms for rent are avaliable. The only downside to renting a room is that you need a car,

Has he checked the classifieds on SKYWonline?

Does Dena still work there? If so, call the FAT office. She rocks!

Marriot Courtyard Inn is about 50$ a night with the crew rate. I stayed there 4x a month for the past year. If he puts himself on firstcall and asks for TDY he may not need to spend more than the first night of reserve in FAT.

Dena IS the den mother. She is awesome and best resource to find help in regards of a crashpad. Worst case spend a night in the crew room. As long as you are not living there it's ok.

Was introduced to her when I got there for the first time a few weeks ago, what an awesome person. I'd be surprised if she couldn't point your buddy in the right direction, at the very least.

Dena hooked me up with an AWESOME place last year, right when I was at my wits end. If your buddy gets really desperate, have him check Craig's list.

Thanks for the replies guys!
I told him to talk to Dena, and 2 other people I got PMs about. Hopefully this works for him.
THANKS APC (and SKW) GUYS!:D
