exactly.
not only that, but it might not stop with simply losing pay.
The company can also dig into your medical records from your personal physician. Is this even legal??
From ALPA's contract awareness product:
In appropriate cases ... only (“good faith basis”), a
Chief Pilot can ask you to sign a medical release with the medical information being limited to review by a Company designated doctor, other health care professionals, the Director-Health Services and the Senior Vice-President of Flight Operations
The actual contract (14.G), however, doesn't use the term "ask:"
may be required to provide the Company with a written authorization for release of medical information (release),
So ALPA is still spinning the contract.
