Yeah exactly, like I said in some obvious cases of misuse or abuse, I can see them doing this, but to the average pilot here that works when they can and calls off a normal amount of sick calls, this shouldn't be an issue.

It would just hurt the moral of the whole pilot group if they started doing this as it would shed huge doubt for all the pilots on if they could flow or not. Plus, it opens up the door to huge safety and regulatory issues in that pilots may be less likely to call off sick, fatigued or FMLA due to fear that at any moment, they could lose the flow. This could lead to accidents, delays, training failures, potential lawsuits etc.

I totally understand it is in their power to do so, I just dont see any upside to them doing it other than to punish grievous abusers of the system.
