What did you give up to get commuter parking paid?

I commuted for 30 years and never had a failure to commute so I was a bit surprised. I was not concerned because scheduling called me for the GS at 10AM with a major snowstorm in the NE. I told them I could not make it and they begged me to just try.
I opted out of principle to not take the letter and use the contractual policy even though I new the CP would squash the letter. Funny part was that when I called Crew scheduling to tell them I was unable to commute they said no problem flight already canceled. They then offered me a much better GS with a later report and positive spaced me up. I also got paid for the first trip.
Karma!

It has never been legal for them to put anything in anyone's file without going through the PWA disciplinary processes.
When did GS calls become mandatory? Even before ARCOS they were a proffer. You mean they begged you, and you said ok, then didn't make it, and they "put a letter in your file"? Were you a flight attendant?
This story doesn't make sense.

Sailing said 2015. Maybe my memory is fuzzy, but I'm pretty sure that's when the rules changed.

P.S. For those wondering I am not talking about Angie. If you were on Angie's good side she was the best base manager anywhere. She applied common sense to any situation regardless of what the policy might be.
