Narrative:
We had an aborted takeoff and had to return to the gate. Our duty day on this all nighter trip was extended by almost two hours. I arrived home after sunrise. I was now awake for over 14 hours. I almost crashed my car on the way home. I pulled into a 7/11 and gathered myself and continued home. I hope the carrier will reconsider its scheduling tactics. All nighters on the back end should have one leg home not 2 or 3. It is dangerous!!!
