Most airlines provide each crewmember with their own hotel room while they are on a trip.
When you hear someone refer to a crash pad it is usually for crew members who do not live in a base they have to report to. Example, you live in Chicago but you are based in New York. You have to arrive at your base the night before if the trip leaves early. You have to pay for this on your own so you get together with other people that commute to save money by rooming together in a "crash pad", also at times called a "animal house".
