never shared a crash pad with FA's back in the day... what makes them so horrible?

Junior FA’s can be pretty entitled psychotic witches.
I spend a year in a co-ed Crashpad, some were cool, most were not.
Eventually the manager appointed me Crashpad Police in order to clean up a ‘troublesome’ pad.
You’ve got some 23 year old with a drinking problem on her first real job in life thinking it’s her party-pad.
And has five (5!) roller bags of clothes.
Not the little ones either, I’m talking the 27”-30” full size ones.
I was pretty universally hated but who cares. I’m not going to let my living ( hygiene) standards be determined by a 23 year old drunk.
Had another one who thought it was perfectly ok to start cooking/frying at 1-2am......WTF is wrong with you?!

Crashpads reqs:
- some shade of privacy
- storage space
- decent size bathroom with real man size shower
- somebody who is in charge to enforce the rules
- coed is fine as long as you bounce the drama lama’s to the curb at the first sign of trouble.

Mostly just young - take a bunch of girls from Paducah, KY and Toms River, NJ who graduated from high school and community college wasn't for them and their boyfriend just went to jail so they decided to go see the world on Regional Air Express. Oh and they're making $12/day.

I think that would be every heterosexual males definition.

Best crash pad is your own hotel room.

Avoid the drama, save yourself some trouble.

They aren’t all horrible, but I’m not interested in doing a pad again. I was at pilots only places, and that probably helps. But overall, it’s not a desirable situation. Lots of noise with people coming in at all hours and snoring, etc. Had one complete psycho in first pad. Male flight attendant, long story.... But I do know if I ever wind up flying with that guy, some damned body else is coming up for any pee breaks.

On short call, I was only looking at not being used three or four days per month. A hotel would have been cheaper and less hassle.

Many things already mentioned are great ideas . I will chime in and add ..


Great guys via recommendation only . Makes a big difference imo. And location location location . Also a snore room setup for the fellas that snore . They know who they are. Let them fatigue themselves out of a medical. Don't do it to me .

Not necessarily... After an extended period of vacancies we went down to the local junior college and advertised for a couple of co-eds... Made for a lot of fun but that was years ago. #b4metoo

That's skilled labor and a high wage for Kentucky... Skilled labor for NJ.
