Actually it's a hell of a union negotiated contractual benefit.

A big chunk of the rest of the industry doesn't get such discretion when it comes to getting to work---or at least I didn't get such benefits when working at my previous non-union carriers as the first missed trip was the bottom rung of the disciplinary chain.
