Akasylvia : what a cosy little comfy blanket world you live in . Where can I buy some ! Try telling the future employer after phoning in sick & telling porkies...."er, yeah, me, the Fo, two cabin crew were fired for calling in sick. B I G investigation & we were fired."................oh yeah, hit Pprune, papers. media, inhouse jail mags.............................future careers ? Wake up Dad !
If that's the way you present yourself in an interview, no wonder you are worried about job security.
I'll try to be clearer:
Pulling a sicky, especially just the once because you messed up, does not get people banned from aviation careers and put into jail.
Flying a plane drunk, on the other hand...
