Outsider looking in.. Why did your company decide to change the sick call rules? Did you have an exorbitant amount of sick calls all of a sudden?

I find it worrisome because our managers here at brown always look for ways to copy other airlines' procedures IF it suits them.
We typically get a "is everything ok" call from one of our instantaneous super-captains after 6 sick calls in a year.. I've never heard of anyone having to submit a doctor's note but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen, I just never heard of it..

I hope your union succeeds in reversing this rule and that our company never adopts it.. Good luck!
Sorry for butting in.
