What are some ways you mitigated the lodging challenges when working reserve?

A mainline only Crashpad helps. Most guys will be older and more respectful. Ear plugs and eye mask helps. Some nights it’s luck of the draw if you pick a room with no one in it. Was in a primarily JetBlue pad in Kew gardens and basically every night around 8pm they’d all get called out for Caribbean redeye turns. Mostly had the place to myself.
