Under the proposed sick leave policy said pilot would have to go see his PCP who might be out of the office for the weekend. He certainly couldn't visit an urgent care unit. Now that pilot is going to have spend his own money to visit a doctor two days later just to beg for a doctors note to verify that he had the craps two days ago. He could either do that or possibly be subject to pay loss and/or disciplinary action. Would you agree that there's a good chance that at least one pilot might feel intimated by that and just go to work instead? In my opinion, if that kind of situation happened to even one of our pilots, that would be one too many.

I get it though, you're upset about not getting a pay raise. We all are, but I'm certainly not going to subject our honorable pilots to such a dishonorable policy for it.
