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?
New, go back and read my post right before yours, I've edited to explain the pressure to get your illness verified. Thanks...
