What do airlines normally do when they have, say, a 10-year old UM in an overnight IROPS situation?
When I was a UM this nearly happened to me on AC. Our YXE-YYC DC-9 diverted to YQL we nearly timed out, and the FAs were prepping to have to share their room with me (they mentioned this happened before). Now this *was* 40 years ago or so...
