Because of terrible weather at your hub airport, you only flew half of your flights for the day. However, you are required to wait for reassignment. This wait turns out to be about seven hours, when you are assigned a deadhead flight for a reduced rest overnight in a major city. This makes your duty day about 15 and one half hours, and you are looking at the minimum eight hours rest. When you arrive, you find your hotel is 30 minutes away in downtown, and you must wait in a large line for a taxi since it's too late for van service.

You are dragging already from exhaustion, and you notice your crew is really looking drained. You also realize you'll all only get about 5-6 hours of sleep tonight, at best.

What should you do?
