These dudes are bean counters. Our present sick leave system is hardly "draconian." We get a bunch of sick leave. Being asked for a note occasionally I can live with although I personally find it offensive: this is CURRENT contract . If DAL wants to press the issue I'll call in sick and see a Doc for every sniffle and I'll wind up calling in sick more often and I'll bury them in paperwork. You guys are the ones making a mountain out of a mole hill and you are the ones being distracted. I'll revise my statement: And I'm talking about the current contract under which we occasionally have to verify sick leave. Keep your Doc, BUT if MY doctor couldn't have his/her staff produce a simple BS note for DL I'd change Docs that day. OFG
