2 Gp - you fail us.
I would like to see you do any better, given what we have to work with.
But no the end of the crew day was near and the hotel calling.
Crew Duty Time (or FTL as the civvies call it) is not something that is up to the crew to decide - it is a LEGAL limitation on how long you can work; it is there for a very good reason and you cannot simply decide to bust it at will.
XL / AA's other failings aside, I'd be FAR more worried about the crew who said "We're getting the job done - we're going over FTL, but f**k it, it'll be alright - what could possibly go wrong?"
