Haven't seen your kind in ages, I don't know you, but know I miss you!"

*and yes, I am aware I am a dork - I'm not nerdy enough to know specifically what flight/aircraft they came off of, but I'm dorky enough that it made me happy to see them.
Glad to hear this hotel was open. Hopefully the AC crew didn't get their in the same roundabout way you did? That doesn't surprise me at all that their day would be over so early. Super short days have been common. I know a Jazz pilot who has had a lot of days where he deadheads to YVR, flies one turn (did YCD last week), and then deadheads home.
