They'll just have to fund it." Well, they had to.... until they didn't. And the rest is history.
What I was trying to get at is that NWA decided that the call in honest saved them money in that having to cancel a trip because a pilot is not there gets expensive. It was my understanding that call in honest worked well for the company. If a guy does not make it at DAL maybe they GS the trip and that cost the company more. Or if they cancel a full flt that cost the company money. I think the call in honest is a win win especially if it is a nonnegotiated policy. But maybe we can not get it here without giving up something ,DAL is a different animal.
