1 SW pilot would be fine, not the association, not the union, not the CEO. A SW pilot that was supposed to be working that day.

A single pilot claiming to have gone to work would be sufficient to disprove the sick-out? 1,000 out of about 3,000 flights got canceled on Sunday. I presume the remaining 2,000 were piloted; I don't know that an interview is necessary to demonstrate that.

A single pilot claiming to have done a sick-out doesn't prove anything much, either. I can find a doctor that claims demon sperm causes gynecological issues (https://cbsaustin.com/news/local/report-texas-doctor-who-wen...), but that doesn't really lend it credence.

The sick leave data seems a lot more compelling than digging up one interview, in either direction.
