Not so good with reading comprehension? Or do you just lack experience with traveling with children? And any semblance of empathy.

Its 1 in the morning. You've been bumped. Which happens. And we all have to live with it. You've got the wife and a couple of kids under 10 who are all tired and cranky. You need a place to rest. /sarcasm A hotel rooms sounds perfect./sarcasm off Drag your kids out to the curb, wait for the shuttle, slog over to the hotel, check in, slog up to the room. Who _cares_ what the cost is. Even if they're giving them away for free. now its 2am. The kids are out. But you better not be. Because you have to be in line at security at 6. Which means in three hours you need to be vertical, and ready to slog them back down stairs, back onto the van, stand in line at security, and schlep them back down to the gate to be there an hour before departure on the first flight of the day.

A hotel room isn't ideal. Even a free one. A couch in a quiet corner is what a family needs when you're stuck in an airport for less than 6 hours. The crew room would be the ideal place for that rest. You would almost certainly not be bothering anyone. Certainly no pilots would be using the crew room for their legally required pre-duty rest period, right?

That it is an ideal location, and you are unlikely to disturb anyone does not make it any more allowable - there have been several notices given out that families are not allowed in crew rooms at any time. But if you haven't seen such a notice, it is a reasonable question to ask.

You're rude. A jerk. And a generational bigot. Go pound sand.
