    New York based on reserve, and yes I live in a crash pad on trip days. A crash pad is a shared apartment near the airport with bunk beds rented by the month to commuting crew. Mine is in Queens near JFK, a few hundred dollars a month for a bed you use on reserve days, the rest of the time I am home upstate. It is how most junior New York crew make the math work. Ask in the base groups, they are all word of mouth.

    Newark version of the same thing here. Six of us, two bathrooms, a shared calendar. It works.

    This is the first time I have understood what a crash pad is. Thank you.
