Crash pad situation in FAT
I'm a Jetblue guy trying to help my mom out she owns both sides of a duplex where she occupies one side and leases the other. Just wanted to check with those that are Fresno based as to how adequate your crash pad situation is? The property there is currently vacant, close to the airport, and I'm considering converting it into a crash pad. I believe Skywest is the only carrier based there, just curious as to how much you guys are paying and how's the availability of crash pads there? Also are you using cabs to get to/from the airport or getting rides? Thanks guys.

If CS told me to that, I would tell them no. If you did that, it's your own fault.

To all the newbies on here, this place really isn't as bad as a lot of debbie downers and whiners on here make it out to be. Just don't commute to reserve, that is definitely as bad as it can get.

Or we could just fix some of the reserve issues like we have been promised for the past 7 years. But blocking the Debbie downers is so much easier.

I have also received a SAD for going home after I was released after a reflow that ended earlier than my original trip. They decided they wanted me to do another MKE turn after I was on my way home. Needless to say I didn't pick up the phone and got a nice little red slip on my schedule.
RG in ORD took care of it for me though. Great guy!
