This has been discussed in other threads, but I think it deserves its own. The potential sick leave revision is a massive concession.

Here's my scenario: Some years ago, I sprained my ankle and called in sick for a long international trip. I was not able to to WS/GS after I called in well due to trip construction issues.

A couple of months later, my wife and little son were completely laid out with the flu. We had to take him to the hospital. I called in sick again because I was worried about him, and not fit to fly.

As I understand it, my second sick call would, under the proposed TA provisions, be subject to the company's demand for a doctor's note (I broke the magic "100 hours" harassment threshold on my 2nd sick call.

Some thoughts:

-Seems to me this harassment policy is geared to lowering sick time use by bullying guys who might not need to see a doctor themselves, but have family issues, etc. which render them unfit for duty (i.e., SICK).

- Can I provide a doctor's note saying I was "mentally unfit" to fly?

- What if I can't or don't get a doctor's note? No pay? Subject to termination? Company-forced medical examination? All of the above? Sure would be nice to know.

- Why on earth would DALPA allow this????

Although my situation is probably not too common, it doesn't seem like a stretch for someone to be in a similar situation.

This policy is a huge concession. It's #4 on my "hell no" list. I'm fine keeping the current version.
