dozy...
I'm in the airline industry...all the colgan FO had to do was call in sick. granted, an outfit like colgan might have tried to fire her, but it was her choice to fly.
and that is what leadership is all about.
I will also say this...after commuting from San Francisco to Boston, I learned early on that I had better get there in time to have 12 hours in a hotel before reporting for duty...and it cost ME money.
