I enjoy taking a 4:30am van for a 5:15 show. Who doesn’t want to show up 15 minutes early for a 12 hour duty day? Don’t show up at 4:30 it left at 4:22. Unless you tried the 5am van, that one will leave about 5:10 to make you feel nice and rushed in a dark cockpit.
Cap it off with a 30 minute wait at the end of the day, angry angry taxi cab ride and a reimbursement. Call it the new normal short stay routine....
