So this wasn’t a choice of “fly it for cash or stay home” it was a choice between flying it or possible disciplinary action for no-showing a trip I’d been marked notified for.

Granted I could’ve just not given them a courtesy call and just no-showed and eventually been vindicated but hindsight’s always 20-20.
