Called the CP and explained his benefits weren't working and asked if he could help get him out of it, CP said you've had 12 hrs to figure it out... So he called in.
point is SKW doesnt fire one for a "simple missed commute" theres always more to the story.
Also knew a ORD captain sitting reserve from his home in Redmond. Every time they would call him he would call out. Did this several times until he got called in. Surprisingly didnt get fired.
