Your example is no good. I said your command ends when you have checked out at home base, that's usually once you have left the airport. What happens or does not happen in the crew car park is none of my concern.
Myself and many others can list multiple examples where we have had to step up down route. Sick crew member? Assaulted crew member? Security issues at the hotel? Crew shuttle driving dangerously and using their cellphone? Crew member forgot their credit card or money (prior to the days of Apple Wallet)? The list continues.
Are you a skipper?
