A few years back I had a Eagle crew pull the same thing except in reverse. It was Christmas Day and we were half way to the hotel (20 mins one way hotel to airport) and the van turned around. Oh crap. Now when we got back to the airport, the crew wasn't even in sight. We waited another 30+ mins...
I worked there about 10 years ago, on the Metro. Yes, it is a $hitty operation but the did one (and only one) thing I liked. They tracked parts and the avg. fail time and replaced a commonly failing part before it actually failed. A great way to keep up reliability.
