Can't believe anyone didn't mention any FBO with free cookies! Then again, during my freight days that was lunch/dinner!!

Bonus to the ones with the pretty girls behind the counter with a southern accent!

I know ya'll are really talking about FBO type of "lounges" but you should see what the DAL pilots have at JFK. It is sooooo incredibly awsome words defy description. We have our own zoo... Occasionally it is in a rain forest environment... If you like spelunking (actually called caving), you can do that there too. If you fly long flights, the humidity level is precisely controlled for your comfort and recovery.

Thank you.. I'll be here all day...

ok AAL... pilot lounges are located in FBO's, corporate pilots have pilot lounges.

Airline pilot's dont have pilot lounges. They have crew rooms. And crew rooms have nothing in them but computers, a couch or two if you are lucky, kit bags and luggage, and maybe a TV- probably with a 1980's VCR. They also come free with a musty, moldy atmosphere, carpet that should have been replaced 10 years ago, and the echos of exagerated stories, and complaining.

Crew Rooms are not the place you want to spent your time, otherwise, everyone would bid for reserve!

crew rooms are also a great place to watch every single freakin' WWII movie ever made and you can even listen to some guy critique each and every flying scene and how unrealistic it is. WE KNOW ALREADY!!!

Flightcraft in PDX satisfies both, save for the southern accent. Last time I was there one of the girls was of SE Asian lineage, if that tickles your pickle.

Central Flying Service, KLIT, comes to mind...
