Of course, I was well past probation by then. I get that you'd want to be careful with this.

I had something like that come up once. On the phone with family during an emergency while on cancellation makeup, at the same time on the other line is scheduling trying to give me a trip. I was definitley not fit for duty at that moment so I called off for it, and pretty much immediately sent an email to the BCP explaining the situation. It was a non issue.

It's not like it's some kind bonus to be a reserve pilot. You can call out sick from a lot of trips before you get some kind of contact from the BCP vs once on reserve.

The situation GoodJet described only happens on reserve when you call in after a trip is assigned. Scheduling codes it as a "missed trip" and the BCP has to followup at that point.
It's a pretty rare scenario.

Nah, I call out plenty but have never been called by a BCP.

Just anticipate a phone call. And possible scrutiny, don't be unreasonably out of position given the circumstances and timing. They can easily pull up your KCM and CASS history, not sure about ID90 but I'd assume that too.
I say this because people have been getting fired for this kind of thing for as long as I've been in the industry.
