You're the third guy in two days who has justified PS as a cost savings because you compare it to the cost of an illegal sick call. Sick call is for when you're sick; not when you can't catch a flight.
Here's a BIGGER cost savings. Firing the guy who illegally calls in sick because he misses his commuter flight, and replace him with a guy who won't.
BTW, Delta's done it before, so I'd be really careful what all of you guys are admitting to on this public forum.
