Guys that camp in there... Are they not home based and not have a company paid hotel room? 737 pilots?

Southern’s 73 pilots are “gateway” based now just like the rest of Southern and Atlas fleets. Hotels provided in base and have been for a while.

It's your responsibility to get from home to one of the designated gateway airports. The company buys you a ticket from there and back to there.

The bunks start to fill up around 2230 local and starts to empty at 0300ish

I regularly see ACC and ATI names on the doors of the bunk rooms. Those should not be there. You're at the hub for a few hours. If you're not doing airport reserve, find yourself a recliner.

That's exactly what they should be doing in there. They're doing a hub turn and need a couple hours of shut eye. Not some dude sitting a 12 hour reserve period hording the room for the entire time.
