So? If you can't go you can't go. It's our job to make that call. It's like growing a pair and calling in sick when you are too sick to fly. Are we really that worried about a phone call? Is it right? No but the possibility of getting a call is not impacting my decision.

I flew with a Capt that refused an extension, we were on different rotations so it wasn't an issue for me. Replacement was found and we continued on. I flew with the same Capt a few months later and the only CPO call he got was one apologizing for not being able to give him reroute pay for the additional overnight. I question whether or not the intimation calls are as rampant as the Internet would lead me to believe.
