This is actually one thing I miss from the corporate/part 91 world. We had our own space in many FBOs that was pilots only, with TVs or rest rooms etc. In the airline world you share that room with everyone from FAs to admins etc.
In my regional days I remember trying to get some sleep in the quiet room in our ORD crew lounge only to have admins walk in/out and turn the lights on and off since they kept some supplies in there. Exactly what I needed after a 14hr day and missed commute home.

When I first got to delta from the regionals I kinda found the separate pilot/FA crew lounges to be a bit odd. However, after having to visit the FA lounges a few times, I understand why they are separated. The FA lounges seem to have the frantic atmosphere of a high school passing period. From random PA announcements to lots of talking and movement and activity and "see and be seen (and heard!)" energy. Not relaxing at all. The pilot lounges on the other hand always seem chill, relaxed and like professional workspaces.
Let's put it this way: I have logged far more hours in a pilot only lounge than FA/shared lounges and have NEVER heard anyone squeal and yell across an otherwise quiet pilot lounge when they see a friend they haven't seen in a while.

Yeah dude, I do. I’m up working on stuff and flying out soon, I can’t sit in the dark. There’s a nice sleep room right over there, with nobody in it.
He says he doesn’t like sleep rooms, and can we please make it dark in here.
No. No we can’t. Get a hotel room if you can’t deal with a sleep room.
He said he only has 8 hours so it’s “not worth” a hotel. WTF.
We went round and round. It was the most bizarre exchange I’ve ever had.
