I did fly with a captain once who told me, "ALPA ****es me off. They insist on putting us far away from the airport when all I want to do is eat, sleep and take a c**p. I don't care about all this 'oooh, look I can go to a museum or ballet or shop for nice clothes.' I don't give a **** about all that. Just give me a short ride to an airport hotel, give me my key so I can go sleep!" No wonder his trips were often in open time.
