Just my experience.
SS~ You must be, and always have been, based in Mempho. Believe me, because it has happened to me and several others I personally know, if you are based in ANC or LAX and call in sick multiple times within a certain period of time you WILL get a call from JP (ACP) and be asked to explain yourself AND/OR produce a doctors note AND/OR be placed NOQ (without notice) until you have spoken with Dr. Kendall.

No kidding.
I have also learned that if you call JP in advance (or soon after the fact) and give him a heads up on certain situations that a lot of heartburn can be avoided, FWIW.
Sorry Bohica for hijacking your thread.
