That's good info, but didn't really answer my question. You mention getting a TSM, but people who have been thru it in the trenches talk about calling for an FSD. I'm looking for a bit more information.

I remember reading a mileage run trip report a while back, by someone who really knew what they were doing, and a TSO tried to give him some crap about no one else being available (higher up), whereupon he said if that person wasn't available, the airport would have to be shut down (I probably have the details wrong, but you get the gist of it).
