I'm not defending the practice of calling in sick for a missed commute, but it would seem that reinstating the NWA call-in-honest program would clean this up in a hurry, with minimal cost. I personally never used the call-in-honest policy, but it definitely made the commute less stressful. Almost used it once, but ended up getting an RJ jumpseat at the 11th hour. Just sayin'
