Prediction: Because of that note and the way I think the company will use it, you will have a lot more pilots showing up to work sick during and around the holidays.

But, like you said, the 100 hours/15 days provision is a biggie, too. I think it will effectively limit some of the widebody categories to one sick call a year before they are required to produce a note. Look at the 747-400 trips. Even a lot of the 777 trips are worth more than 50 hours.

Neither is good in my book.

I'm not one to advocate calling in sick when you are not sick. But, it's worse to have a pilot group that is worried about having to produce a doctors note, if they are legitimately sick.
