Someone asked me the other day why do I think sick calls are up. Easy answer!!!!!!! Our **** ass CBI does not allow most pilots to bid for more than two/three days off in a row if you are not in the top twenty percent (big bases). So if you are sick it takes time to recover.... aka doc gives you a Z pack that’s five days min. PLEASE don’t come to work and don’t let these stupid letters that are being sent out kept you from calling out sick. I don’t want to get sick along with others but please stay home and take care of yourself if you are sick! Follow the AIM! IMSAFE is our best friend!
