"sick call" signed by the doctor is not a good enough reason for verifying sick leave...
A medication that isn't specific to a single indication isn't sufficient to "verify" sick leave.
It's nor a rumor at all....
This is the new Delta.

Johnso,
Several days ago you made a statement about how many times the company has asked people to verify illness after calling in sick.
You produced numbers that were mentioned in an ALPA meeting that showed the numbers having decreased significantly.
Mind reposting those?
The anecdotal instances reported on the old board and this board would seem to greatly contradict the claim.
Please distinguish between good faith basis claims and regular verification. The later seems to have a constant stream of near harassment regarding prescriptions, and what constitutes a description. This then forces the pilot to return to the medical professional to attempt another verification.
