Yes my rep and CA were fully engaged but unable to positively affect the outcome other than to recommend "go back to the doctor and convince him to write something other than "sick visit."
When I reminded them that the doctor was unwilling to list any specific medical reason on the sick leave verification form due to his [possibly unfounded] fear over HIPPA law implications, my rep and CA suggested I should find another doctor.
It was only once I spoke to a assistant chief pilot, on my own, that I was able to find an end to the madness...
Quite frankly the whole process left me feeling like I worked for American, not Delta...
Again the best takeaway suggestion/advice came from the CP office: Pre-fill out the entire sick leave verification form and just have the doctor sign it...
Cheers
