Crew resources is out on a limb here with their latest update. They are only interested in sick leave usage because they keep getting "questions" about it... so they say. And it just so happens that "Most of the questions focus on how and when the sick benefit is disproportionately used – and by whom."

But wait! They know the answers to these questions, fear not! Did they interview a bunch of pilots about what it is like flying the line when you are over 50 years old or in your 60s? No. "Answers to these questions are found in the many statistics that we routinely track and monitor related to sick leave."

Thats right. Look at all our charts and graphs and we can tell you why you are so sick all the time. You are being "disproportionate". Shame on you!

And we get to hear more of this drivel in the next few newsletters! Joy!
