Geeze,


I just looked at section 14. I can't believe I have to write about this, too. You are right. The only thing I disagree with you is where you say I will want to verify every sickness. Because, at the end of the day, it looks to me like the chief pilot, can ask you to verify your sickness anytime they have a good faith reason to question the medical use of your sick time, regardless of the amount of sick time you have verified for the year.

Look at section (14.F.4). (Putting it in practical terms

If a pilot calls in sick during or near a holiday or near his vacation, he or she will be required to state the nature of his or her sickness to a chief pilot, who then may require him or her to provide a doctors note verifying his illness.

Note: It doesn't matter how many times the pilot has called in sick or how many sick hours the pilot has used.


Hey. Didn't the union say they got rid of this? I know I saw it somewhere.....

Slow, am I reading this wrong?
