Total BS and funny how it’s the only base that seems to take sick calls so seriously. I don’t blame people for being afraid to call out sick on probation if they’re ORD based after reading that. “While on probation, expect to be called in for every occurrence.” GMAFB....because probationary pilots get sick more than non-probationary? Obviously some people abuse the system but any competent management would deal with that on a case by case basis instead of trying to instill a punitive culture on everyone for calling out sick.
I wonder when that was written? It may be a “Denise” special as she was know for having a vindictive personality. Anyway, it is what it is. Don’t abuse the policy and everything will fine. If you get called in, just ask them what they think the FAA would think and leave it at that.
