From another post. Was displayed as news on dlnet for awhile yesterday until they pulled it.
I just saw a press release stating that Delta hired Sedgwick as its new workers compensation administration firm.
I looked up Sedgwick. Lo and behold, they also offer a "Disability and Absence" monitoring service.
Here's the description:

Do you suppose Delta signed up for the "package deal" in anticipation of this TA passing? Workers comp and "absence" management.
They don't list "airline crew" as one of their specialties. What could possibly go wrong?
At any point in time, the average large employer has 20% of their employees absent from work due to an active family and medical leave (FML), disability, workers’ compensation or other type of absence request. The impact of unscheduled employee absence on American business has been estimated at $74 billion or as much as 36% of payroll. And that’s a drain on everyone.
