As long as sick leave was mentioned...

I just flew with a guy who was blowing his nose every 5 minutes and filling up each tissue with enough mucus to soak through it. He was also sucking on Halls drops the whole time and still hacking like a cat with a fur ball. Every time I touched a switch or the throttles I was sure I was picking up the plague or something.

I'm asking for a latex gloves from the flight attendants the next time that happens. My new call sign "Jacko" as in Michael Jackson, one glove on the left hand. Use your **** sick leave. If that's not abusive to your fellow pilots then I don't know what is.
