All was well.
The very next day the same CP calls him to find out why he has been out sick for weeks. My friend said "We just spoke yesterday" and CP said "Yup you're correct. Sorry. I'm having a senior moment. Have a good day." And that was the end of it.
Be sure to track your time in iCrew. Make sure it is indeed "verified" sick usage. BTW, didn't know you were out sick. Hope all is well soon.
Thats my same situation, including the conversation I had today, down to the "Don't you remember we talked last week?"
The CPO was helpful about TD, and what I needed to do. I don't mind that but the "the company is just here to help" line is a but much. What, are you going to help my wife with the kids while I recover from surgery? Are you going to come over and clean the gutters that I can't do?
I've got sciatic nerve issues and going to have it fixed next week, I hope. My back has been causing a royal pain in the you know what as I make my way through stages of possible fixes.
Funny thing is that when I talk to pilots about back problems, a lot more of them say they have had problems than I thought. And a doctor at the hospital said she could start a practice just specializing in back problems for Northwest, now Delta pilots. (This is in the DTW area).
