RESPONSE FROM SOVERYTIRED:
Yeah, that would be the lovely Edmonton and Calgary overnights. These were actually scrapped . . lots of FATIGUE calls on these, so some pilots think it was a "Win", but I think it's just because mainline took them over.
Edmonton has a nice little passenger observation area with lots of comfy seats that you can push together, throw a blanket/sleeping bag over your head, and sleep in a little fort! Yippie!
Calgary . . . . not so nice. Airport security took a dim view of our crews sleeping in the open . . . once had a fo miss a departure time because he fell asleep hiding behind a potted plant and nobody knew where he was . . .
