Once again, thank you D folks for voting down this TA.

I am only saying this, because I haven't seen it written down explicitly anywhere yet, and I feel, for the sake of this industry, it needs to be stated in plain language.

The only sick policy which is acceptable for any professional pilot at any airline at any time is the one which works as follows:

Pilot calls scheduling: "Hello, please take me off my trip and mark me as sick".
Scheduler says: "Thank you sir, I hope you feel better soon".

Then, apart from the pilot being paid from his/her sick bank, absolutely nothing else happens : EVER.

No one has any right to details about your illness. NO ONE!

Any union "brother" who would work to undermine this system should be tarred and feathered, then expelled from the union, then prohibited from coming within 5 miles of an airport.

Yes, I know that was didactic, but really, how could your proposed sick language have even ever seen the light of day?
