.. the position of the terminal might have felt odd in the periphery of the crews sight ….. if they operated from there only!
.
.. in other words .. the amount of different airports and airport layouts the average commuter pilot/s would see … I personally doubt that would have triggered a response with any non-local crew!

It is obvious where the visual attention of a pilot (particularly at night) is during line-up and the take-off roll!!
