If someone planned on one flight that got them back 20 minutes before class started and it was delayed or cancelled, OK that's kind of dumb. How about 2 flights that get back the day before but all the stars aligned and they were both suddenly cancelled, and they called as soon as they could to give the company a heads up? They will be fired for that?
That's not only unreasonable but also seems very unlikely they would even think of trying to do that.
Thanks for proving my point yet again. This is a gray area as much as you try to pretend it is black and white. Seems as if you don't have an unequivocal answer any more than I do The red above is an excellent example. If you PSC to work with with 20 minutes to spare and the flight cancels...you are good. No way will /can you be fired. But yet you call it dumb if going back to indoc/initial. You can't have it both ways. I assume you feel this way because there
MIGHT be some blow back up to and including termination....ergo that hue you are looking for in the paint aisle is called gray (grey if in Great Britain)
I reiterate (especially for military guys that are totally new to this), sometimes the rules aren't black and white and my advise is error on the side of conservative/caution while on probation. Feel free to push the boundaries later.
Just 1 mans opinion.
