It seems to me someone who was negotiating for us should have narrowed down, or defined "When individual circumstances exist..."
I also wondered about that as well as this section in the latest contract awareness bulletin:
"4. If you have not visited a doctor or other healthcare provider for your illness, provide
some other proof of illness to the Company by fax or email as described above. This could, for example, include a general description of your sickness, along with a prescription for medication used to treat your described sickness. If you have any questions, contact ALPA Contract Administration. "
What other forms of proof would be allowed? Could we include pictures?
