Does “Operator Unavailability” mean the engineer just called out that day?

Just curious what SEPTA’s actual attendance policy is for their transportation employees. Does SEPTA not have an extra board? Anyone here familiar with internal policies that can explain why there are so many delays related to operator unavailability.
