Yep, but if you call in sick with less than 2 hours notice you get a no-show.
This was mentioned earlier, and it's important to understand the details.
So you wake up at 4:00 for a 6:00 report feeling totally unfit. By the time you gather your wits and get to the phone it's 4:10. Now you remember the time your lousy iPhone didn't go off last year, and the time your car wouldn't start the year before that, and somebody said something about "three strikes", so in you go , feeling like ****, ears blocked and dizzy.
16024, I know where you are coming from but sorry if you are a Professional pilot you are legally obliged to go sick if you are not fit to operate irrespective of when this happens and irrespective of the consequences.

If you report for duty when you are not fit to operate then you may regret it for the rest of your life!

I would rather be on the street having made the correct decisions rather than prostituting myself for any employer.
