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.

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.
All the more reason for separate crew rooms.
