But it only takes a few people to ruin it for everyone. I’ve never witnessed it first hand, but at times all the cots and chairs were full. People called it the red blanket inn. And there were stories of crew members walking around in their pajamas and slippers. Not a good image for the company if that’s true and someone gets ahold of it. I would imagine that’s what they’re trying to protect.
Port Authority of NY was making a big fuss is my understanding, other bases were getting it to not "single out" the NY base. It was probably also because only saying not to use NY would be seen as endorsing doing it in the others.

I'm not on property anymore, so I only know what was happening before I left, but that's how the sleeping in crew rooms thing started.
