There is absolutely NOT a sick leave "abuse" problem... there is a "company perceived" sick leave use problem.
The amount of pilots "abusing" sick leave is statistically insignificant... and the company already has plenty of tools to address those
I don't care how insignificant you consider it to be. I have seen guys get green slips I would have received had they not sicked out of a trip. Then I went back and looked at previous months only to see the same thing......sick out of a four day, tues-fri trip only to magically get well in time for a Sat-Sun green slip. I don't care if it happens very few times, once time is too many. That's not a company problem, that's our problem.
At a minimum a trip not flown due to sick leave should count just as if you had flown in terms of white or greenslip pick up.
