How far do you live from the airport (I'm assuming PIT)? Usually when there's an MX cancel you get an 8 hour reduced rest overnight and then a recovery or ferry flight at 5AM. When it takes 30 minutes to get to the employee lot, 45 minutes to get home, 45 minutes to get back to the airport, and 30 minutes to get back to the crewroom, your 8 hour overnight suddenly becomes 5:30 at home. The first time this happens you'll understand why it's important to have a hotel room in the event of a cancellation, even if that cancellation may be in your base.

Dont we have to get them there before the other plane leaves? Or after its arrived? So early morning or late nights is par, no?)
Hopefully somebody will remember this quote and dig it up when your base is closed by RAH.
