I wonder how many of the posters saying you shouldn't have called in sick have ever worked for an airline that was perpetually understaffed to the point of never being able to drop a trip?
To be fair I only call in sick when I am sick but both my current and former airline would never allow me a day off if requested. Ever. |

But secondly, you lie to your employer about your situation. Did you happen to call the pilots that may have been called out on reserve or given a "junior assignment" and explain the situation and apologize? Thought not. No matter how crappy your regional was, where were your ethics? Was that week off a "right"? I guess it was in the new age of entitlement. Can't blame him for not updating a LOR for you, but he should have had the 'nads to tell you to your face over the last four years. That was toolish. But IMO, your behavior was just as toolish for basically lying to your employer and someone had to pick up your slack. :cool: |

Tool of the Week: whoever it was last night on Guard over central Oregon, broadcasting a recording of 'Allahu Akbar' and the Islamic call to prayer for about three uninterrupted minutes.
The first 5 seconds was funny, the remaining 2:55 not so much... |

I enjoyed the Glenn Quagmire PA audio over guard between PHX and DEN today. Thanks to whoever did that.

Center was looking for an Acey flight the other day and asked us to call them on guard. I inwardly cringed and had to steel myself for the expected onslaught of "guard garbage" that would soon be flowing. Usually, something like that is like throwing gas on a fire, but thankfully not a peep was heard.

Several years ago housekeeping woke me up when there was a DND sign on the door. When I answered the door I told her I didn't want my room cleaned - instead I removed the DND sign from the door and handed it to her and told her to bring me another one since this one didn't work.

I can't tell the difference between the uniforms and the ID is too blurry to see. Is that a LUS guy?

There was a Delta Captain from Detroit wearing blue pants and crocs on a flight to Bombay as the working Ca. Idiots can be found anywhere!

Evidently, he's a great guy to fly with. That said, I'd be embarrassed to walk to the van with him. I mean, come on. Buy some f*cking black sandles for Christ sake...

Maybe a Cardiologist impersonating a pilot?
Sometimes it's easy to overlook the little things in a scam ;) |
I'm not one of *those* guys at AA, at least I don't think I am, but if you can't wear something approaching a proper uniform because of a physical ailment, you shouldn't be flying. If his physician is telling him to wear that, at least get something that looks better than that. He's a fanny pack away from looking like a German tourist.

If he is having a Gout attack, he has no business working. I'd rather have needles in my eyes.

G I flew a revenue flight once in shorts, tee shirt, and tivas. Dropped my kid off to non-rev as a UM and the CA timed out...told they company I'd do it as long as my kid got on and they gave me PS me home. My wife wondered why it took six hours to drop off the kid at the airport. |

I had similar to your experience at the regional... my uniform was at the dry cleaners and they called for a junior assignment. I explained that, and said I'd be willing to come in... I'll just have to wear business casual. The flight was boarding by the time I got there. The looks from the passengers were amusing as I was trying to make my way down the jetbridge! |

Flew with a tool wearing a US NAVY lanyard. Every pic I saw of him showed the lanyard front row and center yet he was not even remotely in the military. Some people just have to fluff up their image at whatever cost.
