I think in old days flight crews had to carry printed manuals but I think those are quickly changing to electronic device fast. I think at AA typically crews are away from the base three to four days, especially on domestic I do think they often do not have that much time on each overnight location to do stuff, and especially for FAs they do not get paid enough to buy stuff at every overnight locations.

One guess I have is that crews may carry another pair of uniform? On the road they do not have time to do laundry if uniform got dirty or time to repair. But yes, it is true that it looks a lot for three to four days trip when pretty much all they do is turn around at hotels.
