And that was exactly my argument. I think he was just trying to push me since I was on probation and they knew I couldn’t do much. He finally grumbled and gave me the call us when you are well.
The second one, ironically experienced that as a paying passenger a few months ago with my wife on our anniversary trip. Captain got some food poisoning or something and called in sick after sign in on the first leg after we had already boarded.
