You don't miss diverting for weather. Sitting on the ground for hours. Given and EDCT. Board up, taxi out. Ground stop extended. Taxiing back. Deplaning. Timing out. Waiting an hour for crew scheduling to find you a hotel. Being told you have to be back 8 hours from when you blocked in, NOT from when you finally got a hotel room. Takes another 30-40 minutes to get to the hotel because they don't know what you're talking about when you call for the shuttle. Told you're working the same flight number in the morning (because: completion factor!) AND doing the scheduled flying you were supposed to do the next day too because, well, legal to start, legal to finish? C'mon!
