LoL - I think it was. We saw the huge line for yellow cabs and cPT was bee-lining for it. I told him to follow me and talked to the first black towncar limo waiting by the inside curb.
Within 3 minutes we were on our way - the driver "sprung" for 2 Starbucks coffees as well.
I expensed it since the cPT was "out of cash". Sometimes you just have to take care of a fellow pilot .....
