HOWTO: Hang with Flight Attendants off the Clock

Do you ever feel bad for flight attendants? After getting hassled by rude passengers, spending hours and hours locked on planes and getting jerked around by management, they then have to find a place to stay for the night. (The airlines only comp hotel rooms on layovers.) You can help out--and make a few bucks--by renting flight attendants and pilots beds at your place.

Setting up a "crashpad" is easier than you think, if you've got some extra space and live close to an airport, says the LA Times:

Crashpad layouts vary with the property and may be a spare room in someone's home or an entire house devoted to airline renters...many crew members look for crashpads that have kitchen privileges, WiFi, nearby restaurants or a grocery store, laundry and, of course, close proximity or convenient transportation to the airport.

Sleeping arrangements are usually same sex and same profession: Pilots tend to bunk with other pilots and flight attendants with other flight attendants.

We can only imagine the shenanigans that you could get up to hosting a bunch of pilots and FAs at your house. Then again, like anyone else, they probably just want to chill after they're finally off the clock.
