2. The sickness extends to 15 or more consecutive calendar days.
3. Under the provisions of Section 14. F. 4., if the Company has a “good faith basis” reason to question a pilot’s sickness. In this situation, the company must first request the verification; then the pilot is required to submit a verification of a sickness.

If one of the above instances applies to a pilot’s sick leave usage, the pilot does not have the option to not verify. There have been several instances in which a pilot did not call in well after becoming well and has been required to verify because they reached 15 or more consecutive calendar days of sick leave.

REMINDER: Call in well when you are well.

These three instances of required sick event verification are not automatically subject to reimbursement by the Company for the cost of obtaining a doctor’s certificate.

ABOVE from the blast...

So are we changing our contract via email blast requiring us to pay for our doctor's visit if the CP wants a letter? Confused by this.
