The fact is that the crew (and normally the station) have absolutely NO say in AT routing. We are well aware of your final destination and know that you often have long bus journeys which is the last thing you need after a flight in Albert. The tasking/itineries are written by those jolly busy chaps at group, with input from DTMA.
The fact that you don't go to your home base may be due to opening hours, paying civvies overtime, crash cat, customs, crew duty, movers, or a number of other excuses!
Hope this helps.
