Read through the questions carefully. Give complete answers please. For the record, it is beyond ridiculous that pilots have to resort to this type of questioning to extract details being purposely left out from our paid union reps who are "awww shucks just here to help get the info out on the new TA". If you cannot give complete answers I believe you should be banned. Your not providing complete answers does a disservice to our pilots causing more harm than good. Pilots are trying to find out what the new TA means and how it will really affect them.

How many days are we talking about? The company's only concern should be the work days you were sick, not anything else...

So, for example let us say that you pulled your back out on tuesday.
You have a trip on Thursday.
You are hitting day 15 on Thursday to call in sick.
Your doctor sends a verification to DHS that says, "back pain".
DHS asks for more information, specifics.
Preceding days come into play because you went to see your doctor on Tuesday. Your sick count starts Thursday.
DHS gets another note from your doctor that says,"Denny came to me for a back strain, I prescribed him pills that prohibit him for flying for a few days, expected return on Saturday."
That is the extent of the verification.
And that return date is not a binding date. Its just an idea of your return to work only.

This is the kind of stuff you're going to get at the road shows guys. The plan is to sell this to us by what they THINK the language really means...not the actual language itself.
