OTOH, does anyone really think we could even find 1300+ pilots a year who would fall into the goody two shoes category to even a small fraction of that extent?
Since the latest emphasis on sick use began a few years ago, they have hired thousands and thousands of pilots, and will hire 10,000 more in the blink of an eye. There is no way they're pulling from the "I never called in sick" pool LOL!
