I truly believe the real problem is the number of employees who call in "sick" or better yet show up intoxicated.

Many years ago I flew on New Year's Eve with an extremely intoxicated flight attendant who insisted on getting on the intercom and going on and on with maudlin thoughts about the New Year. Her fellow attendanats couldn't keep her in her seat. Wonder if she got written up? Fortunately, we did not have an emergency.

Missed you, Susan. Happy New Year!
