Flight Attendants Sleep In 'Crash Pads'

Ever wonder what happens to those flight attendants when they are away from home with an overnight stay? I always thought that their airline put them up in hotels. Apparently that is not the case. Many stay with family or "friends" in the destination city if they can.

When that is not an option, and they have some money budgeted, they can stay at a 'Crash Pad'. What's a crash pad? Imagine a small house with rooms lined with bunkbeds and you get the idea. This is not a four-star resort. In fact, you bring your own linens to this party.

I don't even know if I met everyone who lived in this particular crash pad during my first three months as a flight attendant. All I know is "my room" had six bunk beds lining the walls, and each bunk bed had a different flight attendant sleeping in it each and every night.
