It is fascinating and entertaining, yet pitiful to see you complain so much about a contract it appears you never read.
The requirement for a DR to verify a illness was removed and APRN's and PA's were added to the list of approved sources for verification to allow you to go to the type of clinics mentioned. It's in the very first paragraph of the sick section. Nothing was removed or prohibited for verification in TA15 except friends and family and online clinics.
This also fascinates and entertains me.
If the rewrite of the sick leave amounts to no appreciable change, then why bother with the risk of correcting a problem that either doesn't exist or has no appreciable impact and alienates good pilots. The only thing I can come up with is they are really trying to solve a growing productivity issue.
