Back in the day, while on a 64 hour layover, I was called out to cover a trip for a captain who became ill. I mobilized and made it to the airport. Made it to the front of the line of security. A moaner, as he boarded the aircraft ask, “What makes all of you so special?” Well sir, we are bound for an airport a mandated curfew airport. If we arrive late, well off to our alternate. I told him that our hotel at the alternate is about 5 minutes from the terminal. So I asked “Where is your car parked, or family gonna retrieve you”? No reply.
