Replying to Manchester ATC this thread wouldn't have been prompted by the chap or chapesse who, having been told months beforehand that he, or she would be working on Christmas day advised his roster writer that they would be sick on the day and better have somebody else on standsby; and do you know what he or she DID ring in sick the day before which meant the standby had to come in, good job he didn't go sick

Me No

I wont be in this year| Next year, or The year after.

I can't believe he/she could ever have the nerve to show their face again on the watch, especially to the person whom they shafted.
