2) have you ever called in sick during a trip?
3) have you ever called in sick on a holiday?
My friend claims he said yes to calling in sick on a holiday and he believes that's why he didn't get the job. He wasn't allowed to explain why either. Has anyone had the same experience or been able to explain the why to these questions?
^^^^^ I'm pretty sure this is more correct, it's not really about the RESAON or the circumstances;
1) How many times have you called in sick in the last year?
2) How many times on average do you call in sick per year?
3) How many rotations have you not been able to start?
4) How many rotations have you not been able to complete?
As well as the sick call next to holidays.
#4 can be little vague. What if you got sick ON the rotation? What if you had to fatigue while on the pairing? What if you had a family emergency and had to get off the pairing?
Some employers have attendence/reliability policies, whereas if you go to a doctor it won't count as an "occurrence" or whatever. DAL DOESNT care. It's STILL a sick call.

A buddy of mine called in next to 2 Xmas's in a row, got a CJO. I made a previous post about another interviewee that had to take a lot of time off to care for their spouse. Explained it, was NOT offered a CJO.
NOT saying in either csse it was the make/break. But person #2 was asked extensively about it.
