This is great news for XJT and the crew, but still is NOT acceptable. The FBO option would have most likely worked with NO chance of an injury. As someone stated, all it takes is a ladder. Every FBO has a ladder and this crew could of been praised instead of questioned by all of us and the passengers. You're telling me there are CA's out there that will let a ramper or operations person tell them they have to leave the pax stuck all night, how sad! We all need to remember it's all about the people in the back, #1. From making PA's every 15 mins (max), to being on time, and most importantly keeping everyone safe, it's all important. I have worked at many FBO's and all of them (even small) would welcome an airliner if it meant keeping people safe and happy until the morning. I thought all crews knew that you DO NOT have to deplane into a secure area on a domestic flight. It would only be applicable if re-boarding or leaving the gate area. So taxi to the FBO, deplane, have some cookies and re clear in the morning at the terminal. Most of the passengers would have been picked up or rented a car. Again, sounds like intentions were good but there was no hero CA here.
