I don't know about the CLE crew. That was before my time and both pilots, as you may have guessed, uh, "moved on" shortly after. However, the FAA/NTSB got on rjet for it's punitive sick leave policy, so the company made some very minor modifications, labeled it "non-punitive" and basically still has the same BS punitive sick leave policy...I bring this up because the CPT was not only tired, he was sick, and would have called in such had he not been facing disciplinary action from the company for doing so.
My situation is that I've made a promise to this company to stay for two years...I plan to fulfill my obligation and move on the second I'm able.
My word still means something, even if rjet's doesn't.
No offense taken.

And the sick policy is BS. It's ridiculous that pilots can't be trusted to call in sick, yet we are "trusted" to fly management around.
Good luck on getting out. I truly wish you the best.
