But they can come after any of us for any reason any time they want. And we gave them that ability through blind trust and that was a mistake. Pilots will fly sick because of this policy. We're accepting some level of intimidation and pilot pushing with unilateral pro company contractual sophistry, perhaps because we were naive or perhaps because we thought it would help monetize something else by reducing over all sick calls and subsequent staffing plans and hoping we get a cut of that. If you have something that can be easily documented, you're bulletproof. For many pilots who just don't feel well however, they will be bullied into flying sick. Just not super duper sick. When pilots worry more about getting an "ops check good, could not duplicate" from a company doctor, they will fly sick. Guaranteed.
