Called CT and advised them we were gonna show late due to rest issue. I Was told by supvr that I'd be marked tardy.
Next day, my hotel and cell phones are Blowin up with "where are you guys?"
CT gives us all TRD (Tardy) we get re crewed on the rest of the trip. Later, I get called to cp office, I explain everything, and I'm told to fill out occur report.
CP didn't back me and I Still have that TRD on my record.
Should have called FAT as soon as cell phones exploded the next morning given that it was within the 8 hours of rest behind closed door - time frame.
Sounds like an isolated event as I have been in the same situation and never had such an outcome.
Very similiar story in AUS occurred with a good friend of mine, slightly different outcome, however I doubt you are him as he is an FO at UAL as of recently....
