EWR X-pad
#6
I thought most pilots used apartments for crashpads. In one of the earlier posts they mentioned staying at an inn or motel. I thought those would be a lot more expensive. Does anyone have any insight on what kind of accomidation makes up a typical crash pad?
Thanks

As you can imagine occasionally more bytes...pardon, people show up at the same time than the room was designed to accommodate. Infrequently as that might be, when it happens, your chances of getting a restful night sleep are not very good.
So as always, you tend to get what you paid for.
"Regular" Xpads are more expensive because they usually sleep only one to a bed. Though there might be more than one bed to a room, you are the only one in line for that bed so they tend to cost more.
These types of Xpads seem to like senior commuters more because of their ability to hold a line, hence they infrequently stay there. Reserve guys are the most frequent users of the facilities and are sometimes charged a little extra for that privilege.

Or, for something different
Ever consider buying??
Real estate is appreciating nicely in NJ (this week). And you could, with the right deal, make more and save the rental costs. The other alternative, is to seriously move to NJ and really live there. If you go 20 south, 10 west, or 10 north you will find very nice, livable housing. Taxes a bit high, but better schools than much of the country. Good luck!

I 've recently gotten off the Independence Air roller coaster, and will have to eat spam and beans for my first year at this new job.
Maybe in some time I'll be opening my EWR Xpad.
Thanks for the advice, keep'em coming.
