I call bs on this.
Seems like the 1950's Popular Mechanics style vision of the future.

That's exactly the set-up on Air Canada's B777's.

They are crew beds, not screw beds! :yo:

Or... is there a difference?

Oh I'm sure it's happened.... you get those pilots and hot stewardesses together in cramped quarters for long flights, and well... *lol*

They're for real. I have been in one that was basically a highly modified cargo container. Wouldn't want to spend a week in one, but it was just as comfortable as a small travel trailer, like a Boler.

Notice the low ceilings, everyone in those pictures is sitting for a reason, you can't stand up in there.

Matches what I've seen.

Maybe the stewardesses could turn tricks . Of course the airline would get their cut.

There's usually one at the fore and aft of most modern airliners; older long hauls used to have a ULD (Universal Loading Device) container modified as crew bunks in the cargo hold accessed via the floor hatch.

With many long haul flights now between 12 and 16 hours non-stop, sleeping quarters for crew are an absolute must.

Hot FAs at Air Canada long distance flights ? You're not super familiar with our national air carrier now, are you?
