Sleeping the crew room violation of regulations? You gotta be kidding. And taking private flying lessons to get your commercial? Are there public lessons I can take for much less money?
Get real buddy.
Actually at many companies it is a violation of company policy to sleep overnight in the crew room. Happened all the time at my last 121 carrier... just saying ....strictly speaking it violated company policy.
