Hi hottowel,
There is not so much of a crew lifestyle as far as im aware. Think everyone is too busy and not enough hours of duty to go and get pissed !!! As far as your shared accom goes.....i do know somebody who is leaving in yeadon alone (2 bed house) and can actually see the runway from her bedroom !!!!! maybe thats too close for you but drop me an email and i will pass you her details.
