That's fine... I am just saying that this is not a common occurrence by a long shot. Would I let that temper my decision? Not really.. Maybe some of the junior FOs can chime in here with their experiences, but as a junior CA, I can tell you that EWR just never happens.. Besides.. since there is no time limit for report, I get there when I get there... No perspiration.. and I'm not taking a $200 cab either...
