It seems if you are honest and not chronic, it's a non issue?
Family first? Definitely wasn't the FAT chief pilot, that guy doesn't give a rats ass about family emergencies. Buddy of mine called in cause his wife was home sick and his newborn baby home sick as well. FAT chief pilot called him and asked what's up. Buddy explained and said his family needed him. This *******'s response was, "Well the company needs you too."
Numerous stories like that.
Guys a total **** bag!
