Maybe the answer is different at another airline, but I did a year's worth of interviews with AA and that was one of our questions we'd ask among a few others posted here on this thread.
I'm simply telling you what AA wanted you to do. I have a hard time thinking it would be any different for any other US carrier.

Where exactly did I say let him fly?
There's really no wrong answer here (other than to let him fly)...
I'm saying, that you can learn a lot about a candidate by following up with "he refuses to call in sick, what do you do?"
You say call the company. Who are you going to call? The answer you give can give good insight into the type of personality you have.
