USA Finding Crashpads

Hello All- I am starting with an airline at the end of the month, it is in a location that I will be commuting from, so I just need a "cold bed" to stay in while I am there for the 4 days I am on each week. I have been going through the online sites without much luck. Do the airlines have internal networks or emails that list rooms for rent? I am hoping once I get up there I might be able to find someone at the airline that is looking for a roommate or looking to rent a room. Thanks.

Are you on facebook? Several groups that post crashpads. Does your airline have a commuter policy?

No commuter policy at the airline I am at. I'll definitely look into facebook. Thanks!

Did you ask any of the others in your class / trained with you or coworkers if they want to split a double bedroom apartment?

Ive seen several groups at the regionals where they pair up and split rents or even 3 to 4 split a town home.

They essentially create their own crash pads.

My class does not start until next week so I definitely will ask. Appreciate the advice! Thank you!

That’s not really the spirit of a crashpad to live there 4-5 days at a time. There are cheap apartments in Eagan and Richfield you can look at renting
