true.
The term "concessionary" was an inaccurate portrayal. I should have said "inadequate."
I don't think the company should be able to get in our chili on medical matters, period. We have sick time. We should get to use it when we need it without harassment. The end.
I suppose something like the 15 consecutive day verification is understandable, but how can they trust us to fly the plane while micromanaging our sick usage?
I suppose there are the abusers that make it necessary.
In any case, I absolutely abhor the notion that the company can get into our medical records. I hope ALPA goes to the mat with the legal team to prevent this from a HIPPA standpoint. But I won't hold my breath. Hopefully no one will press-to-test without a legitimate situation.
