So you get to spend the night at the airport while someone junior to you gets to go to on vacation for a few days and visit friends.
I'll gladly take the stress free commute aspect of a iron clad JS 36 times a year versus the 1 or 2 times every couple years that I have a schedule snafu.
Book it and done. Go on about your business without stressing about it. Sit around worrying about getting to work for days only to have some senior guy bump you out a the last minute to go play golf with his buddies? Pass.

Not Junior
