I'm NOT answering you because I'm not on FPL, I answered them and you didn't like the answers. But, I'll give you answers as the TA language says again; and you really aren't going to like these because, the TA language doesn't exist for many of your questions. At all.

Original Questions-
Using all the language, sections/subsections in the new contract (not just cherry picking the section you decide to cite), is there any scenario where Delta or their third party provider (or anybody else that is not me or the doctor I use) will ask me to provide my medical records? Cite this language from the TA.
Along with this answer please provide:
1. All scenarios where this can happen.
Never will the DHS have access to your medical records. A verification or medical release only covers a description of the illness. IF you are gone more than 4 months sick, just received a special issuance or if 'there is reason to believe he may not meet physical standards'. This language already exists. It is not new and is in section 15 of the contract. Please go and see for yourself. 15B.
2. How far back they can go.
June 1, 2015 on a rolling window. But only for verification. Again, your medical records can only be reviewed via the 15B1 clause i mention above. Which is current contract language right now.
3. The likely and potential consequences for me not turning over my medical records?
Outside the scope off all language in any PWA. What is the punishment for NOT doing something? What happens if you don't report for a trip? What happens if you don't comply with other PWA sections? I can't tell you, because you are not complying with the PWA. Ask your lawyer about this, not me. I can't tell you what the company will do if you don't do your job as outlined in a working agreement.
Follow up Questions-
1. I asked you to cite the language. Please show the old language and new language and describe in more detail. You really were not complete in your answer. Is there any scenario where more than just the doctors notes of the item in question (ie sore throat) can be requested? Who can request that information? Also speak more in depth to "When you're in the medical release window 24 days in 365, 56 in 3 years". Be specific and all inclusive.
I answer this above but verification and release just is for specific information on the specific illness. NOT a medical records release.
2. You failed to answer this question. Instead you chose to give an answer to a different question (which also appears to not be truthful). Please answer the question I asked. How far back can they can go?
There is not a rearward looking witch hunt. Again, it starts june 1st of this year.
3. Please expand on this. Could there also be disciplinary action? Could someone be fired for not supplying this information? Could a pilots desire to keep their medical records private lead to pilots flying sick to not deal with the paper chase and threat of disciplinary action? Does the new policy increase the chance pilots will not be paid when they are sick due to using people or organizations established to deny as many claims as possible to reduce costs to Delta?
as I mention above, you are better to talk to a lawyer about not satisfying the agreed conditions by which your employment is provided. There is ZERO change, i will repeat that ZERO change from the current language governing medical review and the new TA. Section 15 runs this review and has not been changed.
