Did that once and no problem. They called the CA and told him I might make push back, while the debate was really that I might sign in 10 min late. I made sign in with a few sec to spare and even got a call from CPO with an "attaboy".
However, that was the old crew scheduling, not the people we are dealing with nowadays (the downturn started aprox 4 months ago). Now I am on an out of base trip, pulled from a SC to cover a Europe trip out of ATL. I find it really hard to see why they didn't cover this trip with a GS rather than DH me all over and put me up in downtown ATL for two nights, unless they are told to reduce the GS to minimum. Common sense has left Mekka...
