Narrative:
About 20 mins prior to departure, I informed crew tracking that I may possibly need to call in sick at sju to give them a heads up. En route I officially informed them that I was in fact going to be too sick to fly my next leg (sju- ewr). They told me they had taken my initial call from aua as my official sick call when in fact I considered myself well enough to fly aua-sju. En route I became worse so I took the appropriate action and called in sick (en route).
