I've often thought that they could put 4 bunk-beds in each of the existing sleep rooms for those that don't 'officially qualify' for a room. It would be easy and cheap. We could even make our own beds ...

It is the first night that is the most painful.

The "science" that says the fifth night of hub turning is the worst for SA is BS. I feel great on night five relative to night one.
That silly sign on the crew rest door has obviously never been presented to a lawyer in a post accident investigation--yet. We've been trained for years to "sleep when you're tired". If you can't sleep in a recliner then why wouldn't you go to a sleep room? Unless everybody feels great after five days of hub turning" and the science "IS" BS. Hardy har har...I can already see the NTSB report; pilot stated he or she wasn't allowed a sleep room by policy of sign on door, and thus found them self very tired two hours into a four hour leg...NTSB cites sleep room discrimination and the pilots failure to rest in compliance with sign on door and should have known they would be fatigued two hours in the future and inflight...however FAA and Secretary of Transportation recognizes that the cost of cargo pilot fatigue is not worth the cost of regulation change, therefore they have no accountability whatsoever...
