Having this 3rd party being such an integral part of our sick policy is extremely disturbing. True that many of us may not have to deal with them on a yearly basis, but I pray for those that do. Check out their website, we will now have to answer to Bob in India over the pounding in my head from my sinus infection. Unfortunately the management knows that ultimately if we fly "sick," and God forbids something happens, they'll just say "pilot shoulda called in sick." But what they won't tell the media or FAA is that we've put into place a sick call system that has made it very difficult and intrusive for a pilot to call in sick after his/her 15 days, and so they decided to fly sick and risk the lives of their passengers, crew, and livelihood. Shame on management and the union for shoving this down our throats. If they wanted to do something like this, we should have had a comprehensive and mutual study done to figure out how we can best combat sick abuse, and by hiring a 3rd party right without doing our research is a huge overreach. What are the chances the union has done their homework on Sedgwick, their operation, and how they will affect our pilots? My guesses are zero, none, zilch, nada....this is a MASSIVE give back, do your homework people! I for one don't want to have to give up ANY medical information unless it's between me, my primary doc, and my AME.
