1) No offense was intended.

2) My point was, just because someone is sniffling, doesn't make them sick.

3) We have all seen the threads about the air filters, or lack thereof, or how they are never changed. My nose can be completely dry all day on the ground, and start running when I get to altitude. An hour after I land, I am fine. I know I am not sick, but I can understand that someone who is not medically trained might think so.

4) I understand it is a team effort. The exalted FO's comment was a joke, not unlike other ribbing I have seen on this board by others. Lighten up Francis.

5) Unless you are a doctor, don't tell me when I should call in sick.

6) I am open to suggestions regarding FAA approved allergy meds that don't make you drowsy.
