I'm not seeing the outrage here.
Plenty of commuters love those trips. I'm guessing the bit above was just a vent, but how would you quantify "how wrecked you feel?" I always felt far more wrecked at the end of a domestic redeye than I ever did an international trip (disclaimer: I rarely flew the 6-days, but did fly the deep SA a lot). However, there are others that think the opposite. To each his/her own and all that.
It's the principle of it with sick. In the past 3 years I've used a grand total of 40 sick hours...but I'm still against the archaic language. We need either voluntary verification back or kill the rolling 12 month and have it reset on DOH. The way it's written it's too easy to use legit sick calls then be required to go to the doctor for a note for a head cold. Voluntary verification eliminates that.
