My roomie and I were based in PHL on 9/11. She was in DFW on her off-days, scheduled to come in for duty on the 11th. Obviously, we all know what happened. She had called scheduling to tell them where she was. They didn't care, they needed her in base by the 12th (they gave her a day) and that if she didn't report, we all knew what the "ramifications" were. For those that remember, it was virtually impossible, (car, train, bus, foot) for several days. Eventually it was dropped (she was furloughed), but not without a fight from the company.
