With regards to the issue of "Sick Time", it appears that we, and others involved, concur on several points:
1) The issue (like the underboob) is largely manufactured.
2) There have been no demonstrations of systemic abuse requiring any panties (of which your picture contained none) to be damaged.
It appears to us that it would be just as foolish to try to prove that there has not been any abuse at the individual level, as it is to equate anecdotal reports of abuse with a systemic problem.
We will close the file.
Sincerely,

Dear Admiral Sink r8,
After receipt of your correspondence, we are compelled to keep you abreast of current threats to our profession so you can remain safe within the bosom of your fellow pilots. We should all strive for no cleavage between us.
There is no question that our managers are being coached by Ford & Harrison trained operatives. The F&H methodology for union busting is an approach based on stealth and usurping a union's unity from within. The approach is based on false data and false claims for the purpose of pilots voluntarily devaluing certain contractual items and seeing their group as unworthy of gains. It's a softer and more effective approach versus direct labor confrontation. The purposeful attempt by members of our own Union to devalue profit sharing by referring to it as "at risk compensation" is an example. Pilots resigning themselves to another sick leave degradation because of false and unproven claims of "others" who shamelessly abuse sick leave, is another example.
It's useful to understand the F&H strategies because once you know them, it's easy to recognize the tactics as they're being deployed.
Warmest regards,
Carl
