I contacted Contract Admin. and they said it was like playing " whack-a-mole" with the company trying to figure out from one day to the next what was considered acceptable as to verification.
Thanks to you and George, I stand corrected. The Company should not be effectively calling people a "liar" when in fact common sense suggests; "if the man went to the Doctor, he is sick." Obviously an antibiotic is a prescription to treat a bacterial infection. Whether contagious fluid is coming out of your nose, or other parts of your anatomy ... what makes travelling and being in a command seat of approximately $5 Billion in liability exposure seem like an idea anyone would want to hit EXECUTE on?
This is harassment, moreover it is dumb, to the point that the Company is wasting more money on investigatory work than it is obligated to pay anyway. It does not take many $70,000 a year staff and $150,000 to $300,000 a year Chiefs to add up to some serious money to administer what appears to be a pointless exercise.
If it happened to me, as a life long loyal Delta employee, I would be offended.
