Do flight attendants have to live in a crash pad?

Question

thinking about becoming one..any other info is helpful.

Answer 1

If you don't live in a base then yes, you keep a crashpad or you use Priceline.com to bid on local hotels.  I keep a crashpad in Chicago because I like to have a guaranteed room when I commute into work. If you are sitting reserve, a crashpad provides a much more "homey" feeling but its your choice.  Good luck with your career.

Answer 2

You don't "live" in a crash pad.  It's nothing more than a place to stay before and after an assigned trip if you don't live where you are based.  It's usually an apartment with the cost split between 10+ people so it will cost less than $100 a month as a cheaper alternative to staying in a hotel when you need to stay in your base city.  You'd only stay there a handful of nights a month.  Even though you technically have more than 10 roommates, you may never even see some of them.  Chances are that there won't be more than 2 or 3 of them at the crash pad at any given time.

If you live where you are based, there's no need for a crash pad.

Answer 3

some pilots and flight attendants have crash pads. they are very mobil people so its also not uncommon to have a unknown partern in every city they fly to, haha the life of flying and not being married.

Answer 4
