I called in late for the first time... the plane I was commuting in got diverted to another town. We have no commuting policy, as many union carriers do, so I must have been fired, right?
No.... told me to call when I got there, a check airman took my leg, and I picked up the trip when it got back to base. The intermediate time, I was "on reserve". I don't think any "union" place would do better.
This thread will quickly deteriorate to the usual rhetoric..... good luck, guys.
