The mgmt didn't actually ring me on the day (I think it was a Saturday though). But rang a couple of days later to suggest that if I wasn't willing to work when called on a day off then they might have to look at replacing me with a casual at that base. I work for an Australian company but have resigned this week
There was a very limited number of FAs at my base and unfortunately there was a tendancy for some to have sickies so I can understand ops problems, it wasn't their fault there should have been more FAs to cover. However they could ask nicely (and when they did I usually did agree to work) and understand that sometimes I just didn't want to! The FD crew are a bit different, they tend not to have as many sickies (sad but true)and they also get a big bonus in the pay for working a day off.
