Suppose your beloved pet dies the morning of your trip, are you gonna be fit to fly and in the right frame of mind? Where do you get a doctor's note?

Suppose you get into a pretty big fight with your spouse, is your emotional state gonna be in compliance with IMSAFE and where do you get a doctor's note for that?

How many of you have cootie-bags at home that bring home all sorts of cooties from school or day care?

Ever have one of those nights where you get almost no sleep, do you just go and show up in the morning having maybe 2-3 hours of broken sleep because the AC went out or you had a massive thunderstorm over your house throughout the night that wouldn't let up and your pets were scared out of their minds?

The list goes on and on....

Now... this is completely different than say someone on reserve that only calls in sick after getting a trip. Once, OK... it happens. Twice in a row... uhhh...? Third time? Come on man... Sick calls due to any number of factors are one thing, established patterns are a different story.
