I'm sure there is a bonus for BM involved somewhere in there. I wonder what his Fuel Sense/APU bonus was last year!

Even better might be an after action ASAP if you feel like you should have called in sick. Be sure to identify that the company's pressure tactics were the catalyst.

Exactly Pipe. Make the FAA fully aware of the pressure being put on pilots to not call in sick.

It takes three calls to call in sick now:

1) VIPS
2) Doctor
3) 1-866-TELL-FAA
