Where do flight attendants rest up on longhaul flights?

Many workplaces have "break rooms". For longhaul airline crews, this means a rest area that provides a space to get in some crucial sleep in order to be in form for often overnight shifts. These rest shifts are mandatory and are among the many things covered by airport security regulations. read post

I've often wondered how FA's manage their lives and personal habits to survive f.ying so frequently - especially long-haul flights across many time zones. Well, I just came across one piece of the puzzle in the Hiffington Post, specifically about how they avoid bloat and other gastrointestinal issues: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/healthy-traveling-what-flight-attend...

Quite a story about Monday's JetBlue incident at JFK. Part of Steven Slater's training was or should have been keeping cool, calm, and professional even under tough circumstances such as a crash or other emergency -- and a difficult passenger -- not matter how much of a schmuck -- ain't nearly as tough a circumstance as a crash. But having said that, I am often horrified by the boorish and even abusive behavoir I witness on flights these days -- much of it directed at flight attendants -- and if I had been on that flight I probably would've applauded the guy.

What do you think?
