point is SKW doesnt fire one for a "simple missed commute" theres always more to the story.
Also knew a ORD captain sitting reserve from his home in Redmond. Every time they would call him he would call out. Did this several times until he got called in. Surprisingly didnt get fired.

Yes i do know it came right TG that they wanted to make an example out of him, And im sure he'll be along shortly to defend himself. Yes he's a good dude who went to the same flight school as I did and fortunately was picked up promptly at QX. Im aware of the boarding issue as well. Was knew and possibly took some ill advice, but didnt want to drive the 2 hrs, and shouldn't have gotten the chief involved. And from his own admittance had higher than average call outs on probation (due to illness mostly) so to my point its never ONE occurrence, its true in this case and in nature that its a series of events. (with a dash of good or bad luck)
