I am committed to a personal event until the start of my shortcall.
I figured this out by looking at icrew early
When that has happened to me, the first words out of my mouth are, "I'm not going to make that report time." and they say, "can you make departure time?" and I say, "I can't promise that, but I'll try" and they say, "get here when you can". And I don't hear anything more about it. Once or twice they said "call when you're on the road", or call when you get to the employee lot, so we have a good ETA.
It's like a script...

and I'm only 35 minutes from the employee lot. I'm on reserve a lot and I've only been called that close to departure once every 2 years or so.
