As a captain....i had just the case you cite...personal crisis with family....called scheds and informed them i would not be reporting for work.

Answer?.....thats not approved...we dont have staffing. Okay....well you do whatever you want...im not going to be there. next call i got was from cpo.....accusing me of refusing to report for work.

Both crewmembers now sign the release......it is a regulatory and legal requirement we certify all factors and fitness for duty. If a crewmember cannot do so......they are in the world of the faa....sick.

Its only fools like yourself who cloud the issue by advocating a personal standard of 'sick' that has nothing to do with the clear and unambiguous legal obligation of self certifying fitness for duty.
