AdvertisementFor those not in the aviation industry, it might be easy to assume the life of a flight attendant is glamorous with constant travel. For that reason, flight attendants on reserve sometimes resort to staying in shared housing, commonly known as a "crash pad." @flightattendantbaelee/TikTokDepending on the city, crash pads are houses or apartments that are usually owned by flight attendants, pilots, or former airline crew. What's more, flight attendants have two options to choose from within the crash pad: a "hot bed" or "cold bed." "You typically see that it's like the crash pad owner sucks or something, and someone feels the crash pad owner wronged them."
